Today’s Thought “Brighter Days…” G. Ward

1 Corinthians 15: ⁴² So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; ⁴³ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; ⁴⁴ it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

 

A common reading at a funeral can/will substantiate our existing in earth as certainly a short span, along with an uncertain date for departure when it says, “A time to give birth and a time to die” and whereas that Old Testament era couldn’t enjoin their faith unto the Great Advent of Christ, they’d experience death with a blessed hope of a future resurrection (indicative of a future, eternal presence with God) , but our era as followers of Christ, are assured we won’t die (*John 11:26), but will depart onto eternal presence with our Lord (2 Cor.5:1-8). Those of us understanding that nothing good exists in our flesh, gratefully acknowledge our Savior’s imputing of HIS righteousness in us when we confess our sins and absolutely gather to HIS leading us in everything. Like any, we experience bouts in regression, to understand the most excellent spiritual conduit afforded us – godly sorrow, that admits we need HIM every hour.

Grateful, to be alive, so as to proclaim HIM unto another, while longing for eternal reprieve from ongoing, incessant miseries…
