Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Philippians 3:20-21 “For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.”
The devotion is titled Heavenly Metamorphosis by Heather Tietz. One day when Christ returns, we will have a metamorphosis: a complete change of our perspective, desires, and appearance. We will be in a place where there will be no need for medicine, band aids, hospitals, or police. There will be no sadness, disabilities, or fears. All the frustrations we experience with ourselves, and the world will be only memories. Jesus will make us perfect, and we will perfectly fit in His perfect place.
Reflections for you: What are some sins you struggle with that you are eager to see God transform? You should ask Him to help you conquer these sins today.
Here is my response: Some sins I struggle with, but not limited to, are pride, lying, selfishness, and bitterness. As I hope you will do, I will ask Jesus to help me to conquer these sins.
My Prayer for us: Dear Jesus, You alone can change us into a beautiful, perfect being. Thank You for loving us even when we are so steeped in sin. We look forward to eternity with You. Thank you for the changes You are already making in us. In Your name we pray, Amen.
