Present Groans; Future Glory

Present Groans; Future Glory

Hey Family, yesterday and today have had me feeling a bit low, Earthly things that I know will come to pass. But today, I want to turn the spot light off of myself and people in general and onto our great and glorious King and our ever present hope for our Heavenly home.

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, today I thank You and I praise You for giving us a place to put our full hope into. You knew from before the beginning of time that we would need to have something that we could put our full and unwaivering hope; that we could build our foundation for our ministry of the Gospel and solid ground in times of trouble. You are such a good And Holy God and are undoubtedly, worthy to be praised. We pray this joyfully in Your Holy name, Amen."

Scripture

Our Future Home

2 Corinthians 5:1‭-‬10 

"For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."

Eagerly Awaiting Our Coming Glory

Romans 8:18‭-‬25

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."

Quote of the Day

"For the Christian, death is not the end of adventure but a doorway from a world where dreams and adventures shrink, to a world where dreams and adventures forever expand."
