Good Out Of Evil
Romans 8:18-28
Future Glory
Bee's Thoughts:
The passage today is very comforting. Sometimes we become very impatient when waiting for the things we hope to happen. We give up easily when we wait 'too long'.
I remember when I first accepted Christ, I was told that Jesus is coming again. I was full of hope. But year after year, I didn't see Him coming... I started to wonder. But thank God that His word never return to Him void. Whatever He promised will happen, just that His time is different from our time.
"But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." (v25).
Patience is what we need, No wonder the Bible says love is patient. We we truly love someone, we cant wait.
Even when all things look bad, we still can have the asurance that:
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (v28)
Dear Lord,
Thank You for comforting me with Your words. May my hope in You never fail for You don't.
Amen.
Future Glory
18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not 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. 24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
More Than Conquerors
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
