My body can’t do the things it once did. Anyone else feel that way? When I was young, I could run without stopping… I seemed to never get tired. That’s not true today! I realize that this body is subjected to futility, its fragile, it wears out, its temporary. The immaterial nature of who I am (my soul) will not wear out, but it will one day need to be ‘clothed’ when this body dies. I don’t have to worry, because God promises an ‘eternal house’ (body). How reassuring that is.
For we know that if our earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. For indeed, in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, since in fact after putting it on, we will not be found naked. 2 Corinthians 5:1-3 NASB
How much attention to I give this body that is temporary? How much to my soul?
God, as this day begin- I am looking to You to work in me and through me. As I prayed earlier, I hope to make an eternal difference is someone’s life today. When those wonderful grand-cuties come over, I pray they have fun with Papa and Momo and each other. Give me the energy to keep up with them!
