YOU HAVE A HEAVENLY BODY COMING
December 18, 2018

Prayer:  Dear God, we want to live contentedly today with how You have made us.  We ask You to help us make wise decisions with how we live.  May we live this day joyfully knowing we will be with You eternally.  Please lead us to the person who would like to share our joy.  Amen.

Scripture:  When our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die–then at last the Scriptures will come true: “Death is swallowed up in victory” 1 Cor 15:54 NLT

Body too skinny? Too fat? Too short? Too awkward?  Not light enough, not dark enough, eyes not blue enough? Hair not straight enough? So many of us are unhappy with these bodies but we waste our time fretting about it. Christ-followers will one day receive completely new bodies that will be capable of amazements that we can scarcely imagine. So live contentedly with the one you have, knowing that it is not your final one, nor your eternal one. That one is coming yet and is beyond imagination.
Live blessed in knowing that by God’s grace you are headed to be with Him eternally in such joy that cannot now be expressed. But it can be enjoyed and shared. I pray this day finds occasion to share this joy.

Lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other’s faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united with the Holy Spirit and bind yourselves together with peace.”? Ephesians 4:1-3 NLT
