Title: Coheirs!

-
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. [Isa. 40:5.]  John 1:14 AMPC
Devotion: In this passage I understand that God became human and lived among human. His glory was seen by only those who put their trust in Him. This glory is so majestic like the one only begotten son receives from His father (God).
 Here the word only begotten can be interpreted as equivalent to father, thus confirming that the word was God who come as son (Jesus) to redeem us from sinful adamic nature. Therefore when we believe in Jesus we believe in God and we are honoured to behold the glory of God as manifested in Jesus.
In Isaiah 40:5a we know that "the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together" this was fulfilled in the manifestation of Christ Jesus. In Christ is life and only those who believe, become children(John 1:12) can can have, not only behold, this glorious life as coheirs. (Romans 8:17)
  Dearly beloved what is your thought on this? Would you not rather put your trust in Christ so as to share in this glory as coheirs with Him. Food for thought! Hallelujah.

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 ...
