Pain Free | July 24th

 “Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared.”

   1 John 3:2

   When we have been redeemed by God, this is not only a spiritual event, but the Lord has also redeemed our physical being. The promise of the resurrection ensures us of a new, glorious body. One that will be free from pain, sickness, and death.

   This has not yet appeared. For now, our outward appearance continues to weaken as the inner man is renewed. One day, the outward man shall be made new as well and will never experience corruption again, for it will be immortal.

  We are God’s children now, but we experience pain and sickness. Weariness and death. The day is coming when all of these will cease; death itself will end. For all of eternity, we shall enjoy a painless life. There will never be any form of physical suffering again. Let this promise comfort you in your weakness today, while encouraging you to look forward to what is to come.

In Christ Alone.

It's Not a Dream | July 23rd

“Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared.”

   1 John 3:2

    Beloved, let us consider for a moment what is awaiting us in the glorious return of our Lord, when all things are made new.

  We cannot fully comprehend the full scope of our glorious transformation when Christ brings us home. Just for a moment, think about how it will feel to have not one negative feeling ever again. We will never be impatient again or feel the sorrow of our own irrational anger. You will never know the sorrow or discouragement that comes from others being unkind towards you.

  It will be a life of total peace and joy for all of eternity. Nothing will ever disrupt your serenity or take joy from you ever again. We cannot imagine a life void of hostility or tribulation. There will be perfect peace in your spirit and mind because we will be with God. All things will be made new, and we will rest in the finished work of redemption.

In Christ Alone.

A Helping Hand | July 22nd

 “Fear not,little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

      Luke 12:32

   Be of good comfort, beloved, your Heavenly Father is generous and kind in nature.

We should never see the hand of our Father as unwilling to bless us. The arm of the Lord is mighty to save and equally powerful in blessing. Every good and perfect gift in this life comes from God. He is willing and able to bless His people.

  The Lord has promised to provide for our daily needs, no matter how they are represented. Do not fear the day or be anxious about the needs. Do not be burdened for tomorrow. Come to the throne of grace, cast your cares upon the Lord, and seek His blessings. The Lord will receive you and shall care for you. He takes pleasure in caring for you.

In Christ Alone.
