GLORIES STILL TO COME

Haggai 2:9 NKJV The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

My lovely pot of pansies was now looking bedraggled, and although there was a bit of life in them, they needed replacing. As I pulled them out I noticed the seed heads had popped and now some time later, lo and behold, tiny plants have popped up in amongst the new red geraniums! Hurray! Free pansies to come.😊

Sometimes our lives can feel a bit like those bedraggled pansies were, but we hang on to the familiar and don’t like to dig it up because there’s still a bit of life in it! But God has new seeds coming up and we need to give them room to grow, to recognise the new season when it presents itself and not just make room for it, but to welcome it, because it will be beautiful in its own way too. 

The best years of our lives can still be ahead of us if we’ll believe for it. Jesus said all things are possible to those who believe. Let’s be believers!😊

The old days may have been glorious but God says the glory and peace of the days still to come, our latter days, will exceed the glory of the former days. How encouraging that is!

Philippians 1:6 NKJV being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Even if your life is looking a bit bedraggled right now, God wants you to take heart, it’s not the end of your story! He still has glories to unfold in all our lives and the seeds God has planted in us in days gone by are about to spring up and bear new growth, new fruit, new harvests, as long as we water them with the water of faith and have expectant hearts.😊

2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

There are new glories still to come! Believe it and receive it today. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x😊
