TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “Though our bodies are dying our spirits are being renewed every day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16
TODAY’S MESSAGE: As we get older, we begin to see changes in our physical bodies. We see wrinkles begin to show, alertness begins to wane, energy levels begin to slow down, and we become less alert as we get to certain ages. We begin to notice commercials about vitamins and other products that are on sale to make us healthier, more energetic, and even some that will make our wrinkles to go away. It is truly beyond our control that our bodies change as we get older. That is the way our Lord created us. There is no fountain of youth. There is no surgery that can help us to become young again. The reality is that our bodies die a little each day and there is nothing we can do about it. However, the good news is that we are spirits that have been given this body. Because we are spirit beings the Lord tells us that our spirits are renewed every day. Each day that we live, our spirits are given new life and renewed with greater spiritual growth. We are given opportunities to become closer to our Lord in the ways that we live and the things we do. We are given more opportunities to affect others in the way only Christ Jesus would desire of us. We are given the opportunity to practice forgiving others. We are to allow the Holy Spirit to direct us in our ways and we must continue to learn how to follow Him. We are to patient, loving and caring to those around us. Because our spirits are renewed each day, we can rejoice in our daily lives knowing that when our time is finished on this earth we will be going to our eternal home in heaven. Our life here on this earth is just the beginning and not the end. The renewing of our spirits is important so that we can continue to function no matter what our earthly bodies look like. We belong to our King in heaven! We must rejoice and be glad for everything he has provided to us! We are Spirit Beings and our Lord renews our spirits daily! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
