Glorified Body

" After my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God."

Job 19:26

There is a slow progression of the outward man passing away, a slow unraveling of our physical nature. Illness bears upon us the vulnerability and weakness of our nature. We can be strong and independent one day and completely dependent upon the assistance of others in a moment. These moments can be discouraging, but it is not the final story.

With the rising of every morning, we are giving a living example that we shall not ultimately destroyed. Every time we become well and rise from the bed of affliction we are given the foretaste of what is yet to come.

Though our skin be destroyed here, it is with this same body we shall stand before God. Christ rose and ascended into heaven with His body and we shall meet God in the resurrection. Christ redeemed our soul and body, both will be made new and dwell with God forever. If you are weary or ill take hope in the promise, that in our flesh we shall see God.

"Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another."

1 Peter 5:5

Some clothing brands can be identified by their logo. Jeans, purses, sneakers, and apparel can be recognized by a well-designed and advertised insignia. Some of these designers can be considered high-end clothing. People will spend large amounts of money to portray an image through what they wear. The greater attention should be on the attire of the heart.

There is nothing wrong with being presentable and dressed appropriately for the occasion but may humility be adorned on ever occasion. Humility can be worn by every individual and it is a blessing to all who observe it.

Let us seek the Spirit's ability to create a humble spirit within us and may we show humility towards one another. God has been merciful towards us let us show His mercy towards others.

On Your Side | Feb. 6th

"If it had not been the Lord who was on our side - let Israel now say - if it had not been the Lord who was on our side...Our help is in the name of the Lord,"

Psalm 124:1-2,8

The Psalmist knew that it was because of God's intervention that Israel was preserved. Israel is exhorted to exclaim their dependence upon God and gratitude for His salvation.

May the redeemed of the Lord follow their example, and may we understand that we are saved by grace alone through Christ alone. Jesus has rescued us from the enemy and purchased us from the slave block of sin. Ransoming us with His own life.

Let us lift our hands to God and praise His holy name for the great things He has done for us. Today recognize that if it had not been for the Lord, we would still be lost. God is on your side today if you are in Christ.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
