Today’s Scripture…
Philippians 3:20-21
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Thoughts…
As I type this today, my arthritis is screaming at me, “GO BACK TO BED PLEASE!!” However, I refuse because I know the best thing for my body right now is to keep moving. Mornings are always difficult, but if I just get up and start my morning routine, i know eventually my body will start responding.
These verses today remind me, this is not all there is today. We belong to a much bigger plan and place. There are many things going on around us every single day that tug at us and make us want to go back to bed. We just want to give up! When those aches and pains of this world start wearing on us, we need to remember, better days are coming. Just keep moving.
I know it is hard sometimes. This world is filled with so much hatred, poverty, injustice, and well evil! It is so easy to get caught up in the depression, anger, and frustration that swirls everywhere you look. My advice, don’t take your eyes off the one who is ultimately in control. He is not dead. He doesn’t sleep. He knows what is going on and the choices PEOPLE are making. One day He will have enough and we will be brought to Him, whether in death or His return. One day we will leave this all behind.
As I get up this morning the news may be yelling, “GO back TO BED PLEASE!” But I know, if I just get up and keep moving, eventually I will be in Heaven with Jesus.
Prayer…
Lord, I thank you that ultimately you are in control. This is not all there is to life. One day, I will be brought to you in Heaven to live my perfect life forever! ~Amen
