We are faced in this life with suffering. Our physical bodies are the laboratory for this suffering because they are designed to leave this world. Each cell in our bodies is coded with a certain number of times that cell will divide and then it stops dividing and dies. God has literally numbered our days on this earth.
But this should not alarm us but encourage us if we know God through faith in Jesus Christ. For this DNA timeline is a ticket to leave the suffering of this world to something far better! Paul describes this in his second letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 5.
Notice the promises on which we stand … 10 realities that give us great hope and joy regardless of what is happening in this life.
Hallelujah for salvation and sufficiency in this life and the promise that the best is yet to come!
Father, thank You for designing us for a great purpose. Thank You that this world is not our home and there is something perfect ahead, restoring everything to its original perfection. Thank You for preparing this for us, for building a personalized future with each of Your children in mind. Remind me that, no matter what happens here, eternity with You is ahead!

We are sheep, pure and simple. We are wayward and foolish at every turn. But as we humbly come to the end of ourselves and gladly surrender to the Shepherd’s care, we begin to know the level of care and leadership we were designed to enjoy.

When you enter freely into the throne room because Christ has “given us an introduction by faith into this grace in which we now stand” (Romans 5:2) … never forget the price paid for your freedom and salvation.
Stand in awe of Him … and stand humbly.

We must cooperate with God in ways that make it so. We should be careful that it is nothing less … that we are creating an environment where people are encountering God and communing with Him. A place alive with His presence.
