There are times when I sit down to read the daily passages that instantly I know what I want to write about. Today was one of those days.
I lady I know is having some severe stomach and back aches. She has gone on line and researched the internet and is convinced she is going to die—and this terrifies her. Not only has this caused her much anguish but it has also caused her to become physically sick as well. It is obvious that she does not know Jesus as her Lord and Savior and thus cannot proclaim the promise we see in 2 Corinthians 5:1, “Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.”
I am comforted to know that when I leave this place, God has prepared a home for me with a new body–a body that will be free from disease and pain. As a Christians we are free from the pain and worry that my friend is experiencing. Please pray for me as I witness to her and show her that the worry and concern she has can be replaced with peace. How about you? Do you have the peace and assurance that you will have a new body and eternal life? Just something to think about.
