Romans 8:29 “For those whom HE foreknew HE also predestined to be conformed to the image of HIS SON, in order that HE might be the firstborn among many brothers.”
Transformation Day!
When JESUS returns,
what a change HE
will bring! What a
transforming line we
shall cross!
From this body of flesh,
even Death as Paul tells
us, to newness of life —
without dross!
So pray we, sweet
LORD: “Come THOU,
long expected!
Resurrect us from
these frames of clay!”
From constraints such
as Breath, to THY rest
without boundaries,
so bring us with Haste,
LORD…we pray!
As HIServant longing for HIM and
for Home,
Whitney
Devotional: Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
…that by testing you may discern what is the will of GOD, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Philippians 1:6 “And I am sure of this, that HE WHO began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of JESUS CHRIST.”
Steven Covey popularized an existing Truth. It was to begin with the end in mind.
It’s from his book, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.”
While that’s a secularly minded text, the real Source text for us in the very WORD of GOD.
Luke 14:28 “For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the cost, whether he has enough for its completion?
Begin with the end in mind. Better directed, begin every day as HIS child with the End…in our hearts and minds.
For the CHRISTian, no matter what “fiery furnace” obstacles we face, we’ve already been given the Victory.
The End then for us is the beginning of eternal life with CHRIST!
So until that glorious day, all others are for our transformation into HIS likeness…
…made complete at the Trumpet’s calling us upwards!
So today as we remain, THIS day is for abandoning our flesh further…
…while quickly accepting all the changes HE has outlined in the Bible.
Come LORD, even as we pray and make us anew…as YOURSELF!
Amen and amen!
