Romans 8:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the
firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our
adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
Life can be very difficult at times. Anyone who has lived
long knows this. At the same time, even our worst nightmares are staging
periods for our great redemption. Our loneliest moments are the waiting room
for our final adoption into the very presence the King of Ages. With the Spirit
living inside us, we are assured of the ultimate destination of our lives, no
matter where the current scene in life's drama places us. So let's live as
those who are assured of their final destination but just have not yet finally
arrived, not those who have made their home and placed their hope in what is
present. Our best days lie ahead!
Thought for today:
Do I fall under the delusion of control, so much so that I stress over every little bit of life?
