THE FUTURE GLORY 03-14-19

 

 

Good morning everyone and praise the Lord for every breath we take and every move we make. I’m here to implore you to keep your eyes stayed on Jesus and no matter what is going on around you, it’s all good and for your growth.

Today’s Prayer

Father, on behalf of my brothers and sisters in Christ I come to You this morning to say as flowers lie dormant awaiting the warmth of Your sun, there are some of us that need help to realize that for too long our lives have been dormant, awaiting surrender to You. … “I believe, help Thou my unbelief.” Take away the last shreds of doubt that keep some of us from total commitment, that we too may experience springtime in our souls. Help us, Lord. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Let’s eat.

The Future Glory

Romans 8:18-30

Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 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. We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.) 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. 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. 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. 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. 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

Like Joseph storing up grain during the years of plenty to be used during the years of famine that lay ahead, may we store up the truth of God’s Word in our hearts as much as possible, so that we are prepared for whatever suffering we are called upon to endure.
