Promise of the Day:
The whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs; together until now. Not only they, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit . . . groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. (Rom. 8:22,23)
Prayer:
O Lord, it is not only your saints who await Your return, but also "the whole creation groans...". And Paul goes on to say how we are eagerly awaiting the redemption of our bodies. My greatest desire for Your coming is first of all to see Your face, but second is to get a new body. Now I actually have a very healthy body, but it is getting old, wrinkled, achy, stiff. I long for the redemption of the body! My soul is already new and growing healthier day by day; but this body is gradually decaying. O to be like You, Blessed Redeemer! Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Amen
