Today is Thursday, October 20th, 2016; Karen's Korner #3419

Our uncle Dick passed away several days ago. He and his wife Ruth lived their last number of years in a senior housing apartment; he moved about a month ago to a care facility. He was 95; she is 94. They were married for 73 years!

He needed a new body and a new life. And he has gotten it.

As we grow older, we need to be reminded of what God has in store for all of us as believers!


Dr. David Jeremiah stated in his book "Discover Paradise:  A Guidebook to Heaven, Your True Home::

Our New Bodies Will be Indestructible

"Paul describes four different qualities of the resurrection body, and he contrasts it with this present body. So our new bodies will be indestructible. 'So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown'---and when you see the word 'sown; here it means 'buried'---'The body is (buried) in corruption it is raised in incorruption' (I Corinthians 15:42).

"Our new bodies are not like our bodies. Our current bodies wear out. We get old; we begin to notice that our parts don't work as they once did. We discover that no matter what we try and no matter what the infomercials promise, we can't stop the aging process.

"You can listen to people pitch all of these products, call their toll-free numbers, and buy everything they offer. And you know what? It won't work! Because you cannot stop the body from aging. You can slow it down or camouflage it, but you can't stop it!

"Our present bodies are buried in corruption, but our resurrection bodies are incorruptible. They are not capable of deterioration or decay. When we get our new bodies, they're bodies for life! They're bodies for eternity! These new bodies will never get old. They will never get tired. What shall be then shall be forever! We will be what we will be forever and ever. Our resurrection bodies will not be subject to accident or disease or age. We will be free from pain and decay and death. Our bodies will never wear out and will never die. Our new bodies will outlive the stars.

Are you ready for a body like that? WOW!

"If your knees won't take the pounding you used to give them while running or your back can't take it when you ride a bike, you won't have to worry about those aches and pains EVER AGAIN! When you get to Heaven, you will be able to run with ease because you will have a perfect, indestructible, non-wear-out-able body. Your extreme makeover makes you indestructible!

DAY 6:  Pray for God's wisdom and understanding parents.

"Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the blessing of children! Grant parents across the country the understanding, strength, and biblical wisdom to raise godly kids. Surround couples and single parents with a caring support system of family, church, and friends. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
