I'm journal-less and dying inside because of it. This morning I'm sitting downstairs with Jen telling her how confusing Romans is and how difficult it is for me to read it because Paul has a way with words here that obviously really confuses me. Not two seconds later God rocks my world and shows me so much stuff. Awesome!
Best verse ever: The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. Romans 8:19
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed... Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8: Something find it yourself.
Chan was just talking the other day about this I believe. How we should be waiting for this. Sitting on the edge of our seats just waiting for the day that Christ returns. Waiting in EAGER EXPECTATION and waiting PATIENTLY. Sometimes though, I'm not very patient and I just want it to happen. Then i realize how selfish I am and I go back to the verse in 1 Timothy (2:3-4) that says, " This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." So then i become patient again realizing that not everyone who needs to has handed their lives into God's hands. It makes me pray more. This all is just clarification that we need to be living everyday to honor God and glorify Him. We are not promised tomorrow.
With that, go out and make the most of opportunity. Success = when opportunity is met with preparedness.
Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction. 2 Timothy 4: 2
