Walking at the park the other day it really made me start thinking about the decay of life... decay of the flesh and all the material things around us. On today's devotional I'll talk about the decay and what does not decay.
Beautiful devotion, David. Thank you.
I've been contemplating this subject a lot lately. Pertinent to your observations, I believe, is one very profound sentence in Scripture:
Revelation 22:3a
"And there shall be no more curse..."
What staggering implications! In God's Heavenly Kingdom:
New bodies that never decay - no threat of disease or malfunction. No warranties necessary - built to operate at prime efficiency forever. Perfect health always - boggles the mind!
Speaking of which - minds that can ponder and reason and learn and create and contemplate *anything* without having to be on guard anymore to take any thought captive - let 'em run free!
Souls (as you say) incorruptible - in which there will be no sin - nor will there be any sin or temptation surrounding us to threaten - as we are not only united to the Father and the Lamb in our being (a reality now in our spirit beings) - but also by virtue that we will be eternally in His very presence - on His throne- in ALL of His glory!
Perfect unity amongst the family of God - loving each other without reservation.
No enemy present - period. The war is over.
Surrounded by a creation that likewise is no longer subject to death and decay: flowers and leaves that don't eventually wither, mold doesn't strangle, animals no longer prone to disease or presumably predation, pure water never bittered by bacteria... a creation that no longer groans because the sons of God have been revealed.
Everything we do or say will be an act of worship to our God. Everything.
It's endless, isn't it? Truly impossible to imagine. Bring it on!
