Title: Inverse Life

-
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16‭-‬18 KJV
Devotion: Praise God we are His children by grace we received through Christ Jesus. Since believing in Christ we become a new being with hope unlike unbeliever who has no hope. We have joy because of this hope.
  What's this hope? Like every other person on earth we will all go the way of man 2Samuel 14:14; because our outward man grows weak by the days, months and years and we will pass away but our inner man gets renewed daily. Praise the Lord. Our hope therefore is that though there are affliction, suffering, hunger, war, pain and persecution that we have to endure on earth our inner man is made pure, fresh and we will be with Jesus Christ.
  Inverse life, our affliction here is joy for us in Heaven, while the unbeliever suffers loss here bodily affliction and his inner man will also perish unless he repents of his sins. 
  Therefore dear reader, please know that "our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" and therefore it's worth it to endure. This is what Paul termed "living sacrifice". May God keep us for himself in Jesus name. Hallelujah!
  Do you have any concerns or questions share same with us by the medium through which you received this devotional. Shalom.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
