This is the day the Lord has made. We should rejoice and be glad in it. Just a quick question; how’s your joy level today? Have you rented out space in your mind to the evil thoughts that are joy killers or is your focus on the one that gives us life? … Just asking; He knows the answer.
Today’s Prayer
Father, Your Word says that, “With You all things are possible.” So if we are on Your side, on Your wavelength, living within Your will, then we are on the same side. What more do we need? It’s up to us to live close to You daily so that we can recognize Your direction for us, isn’t it? For then and only then can we step out in faith, trusting that ” all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Its in the matchless name of Jesus we pray and give thanks, Amen, Amen, and Amen.
Let’s eat.
The Future Glory
Romans 8:18-30
18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,
21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.
24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it.
25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.
28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
Quote of the Day
Indeed I can put it, finally like this; the ultimate cause of all spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not or unbelief even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks. ~Martyn Lloyd-Jones~
