DAILY DEVOTIONS

Today's Devotion:
"FOCUS On The THEN, and HAVE
A BETTER Life NOW"

HI!

Grandson asked grandfather, "Papa how
do you always smile while sweating and
working so hard in the field?"

Grandfather answered, "Son, I know what's
waiting at the end of this life. It is God's
promised heaven. There we'll live forever
with no sweating. So, you see I'm living
in the NOW, looking forward to the THEN!"

_______SCRIPTURE____________

Rom. 8:15-18
15 For ye have not received the spirit of
bondage again to fear; but ye have received
the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our
spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God,
and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we
suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified
together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared KJV

_______THOUGHT______________

Just because a person is saved, it doesn't
mean he/she won't suffer in this world.

But the suffering of sickness, sorrow, and
even death can be lessened.
The trick is to FOCUS on what God HAS
given and WILL give!

Having confessed we are sinners, and
pleading God's forgiveness through what
Christ suffered, we have been granted to
be "sons of God," and "joint-heirs
with Jesus!"

Therefore, the sufferings of THIS day, will
END when we are fully confident of God
granting to be received into a "glory" that
is without sickness, sorrow and death.

The duration of that time in "glory" is
FOREVER!

So, Christian friend, live TODAY "Speaking
to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody
in your heart to the Lord."
(Eph. 5:19)

FOCUS on "Giving thanks always for all
things unto God and the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ!"
(Eph. 5:20)

FOCUS on the THEN, and you can have
a better manner of living NOW!

Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
