Lamentations 3:22-24 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,

“ Therefore I hope in Him!”

[wendelmyer]

Dear Lord, we give thanks to you and rejoice in Your name all day long. Lord you are mighty and your faithfulness surrounds you. Blessed are those whose hope is in you. Father we pray for President Bush, sustain him and give him strength. We know that your faithful love is with him and your name will be exalted. We pray that our President would not put his trust in any man but rather put his trust in you. For you are great and mighty in power and your understanding has no limit. Be with our troops Lord. We pray for their protection. Bring them home safe to their families. Father we rejoice in knowing that you are in control of all things great and small and that your way is perfect. We pray these things in Your Son’s holy and precious name, amen.

An evening call to prayer.

New Bodies

READ: 1 Corinthians 15:42-49

Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross. —Hebrews 12:2

In 1728, a young Ben Franklin composed his own tombstone epitaph:

The body of B. Franklin, printer, like the cover of an old book, its contents worn out, and stript of its lettering and gilding, lies here, food for worms. Yet the work shall not be lost; for it will as he believ’d appear once more, in a new & more beautiful edition, corrected and amended by the Author.

In this epitaph, the wry wit of Franklin, the colonial Renaissance man, rings true to the biblical view of resurrection. The bodies we now possess are prone to aging, physical decline, and ultimately death. But the resurrection of Jesus Christ holds within it the promise of a new supernatural body raised in glory. The apostle Paul tells us, “The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power” (1 Cor. 15:42-43).

As life takes its course in the aging process, we have the hope of a new body that will far outshine the original. Despite our aches and pains, our destiny belongs safely in the hands of “Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Heb. 12:2). 

New bodies will be ours someday
According to God’s grand design,
Forever with the Lord to reign—
Praise God for the promise divine!  —Hess

In the twinkling of an eye . . . we shall be changed.  —The Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 15:52)

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 5-7; Hebrews 12
