Because of sin and death, we do not want to be unclothed and naked. We want to be clothed in our new, eternal, bodies so that mortality may be swallowed up by immortality and death may be enveloped by life. The encouraging truth in this verse, is that having been born again into the family of God by faith in Christ, we have an assurance that when we pass from this life into the next, we will be given a new, glorified state. We will be housed in a literal body. What a tremendous hope. Praise His holy name.

A generation in Israel is coming who will hear the truth and be saved. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the land and that generation will believe. The mysteries of the kingdom, which were hidden from the last generation in Israel, will become an open book to the next. They will recognise Jesus as their Messiah and King during the Time of Jacob's Trouble, and this coming generation will fulfil Christ own prophetic word ~ for they WILL see Him when they cry out to Him for salvation with one, united voice, "blessed is He, Who comes in the name of the Lord ~ Hosanna in the Highest."

The wisdom of God is truly incomprehensible to the human mind. But even though we now see through a glass darkly, we have the blessed hope that we will one day see Him face to face, when the mystery of the ages shall be fully known. But for now, having had the mystery revealed to us in the beautiful face of Christ, let us say with Paul: "To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen."

As the God and Father of mercies, we worship before His throne of grace, acknowledging that without the spilt blood of Christ alone we would be eternally separated from our God and Saviour. But God in His mercy and love looked down in pity on a rebellious race of prideful men, and purposed in His heart that by His grace and mercy, through faith in Christ, He would redeem this lost and dying race.
He is the God of all comforts Who comforts us in all our troubles. We in turn can comfort others that are in trouble, with the same comfort we ourselves receive from God: "The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of all mercies and God of all comforts."
Let us bow down before HIM: the Lord is His name.

May we be so in love with our Saviour and so desirous to do His will above our own that we do everything for His glory. May we be ready at all times to submit His sovereign authority over our lives and be filled with His Holy Spirit at His pleasure; to do His sovereign will, in His chosen way, at His perfect time, and for His greater glory.

How necessary to take our eyes off this world, which is passing away, and turn our gaze onto Christ. We are already seated in heavenly places with our Bridegroom. Let us not stare down at the world with its trials and tribulations, and instead keep our eyes on Jesus. And as our perspective changes, the things of the earth lose their vice like grip on us, and the things of Christ become our focus, then the only natural result is an outpouring of rejoicing in our Lord.
Let us heed this final call of our dear brother in Christ to rejoice in the Lord, and again I say rejoice.

Being still in the presence of God is not a sulky silence or hushed murmuring, but is simply resting in Him, trusting in His Word of truth, abiding in His love, and being content to await His timing. It is to possess a purposeful patience and not to display a glum resignation. When we are quietly resting in His presence and secure in the hope that is set before us, the peace of God which passes understanding will flood the heart and soul of all who walk godly in Christ Jesus.
So be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for Him to act.
