Daily D – 2 Corinthians 5:1-3

by David Bowman | Nov 29, 2025 | Daily D | 0 comments

2 Corinthians 5:1-3 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. (NLT)

In case you are just now awakening from the food coma you fell into on Thursday, here is some good news. There’s a new body coming from God that never wears out, bloats, hurts, or fails to function.

Now, we have temporal bodies that wear down and out. Then, we will have eternal bodies that never grow weary. Each one is custom-made by the Maker of Heaven and Earth. There’s no better engineer or tailor. We can strive for perfection here and now with serums, nutrition plans, medication, and alterations, but we will never have it as good as we will on that day that never ends.

This goes in the category of Something Else to Thank God For.

The best is yet to be!

The mean doctor told me to stop running a few years ago. Our Father in Heaven will someday soon set me free to run without fatigue, and to my great delight.

What physical capacities are you anticipating?

My bride and daughter picked out new clothes for me yesterday. The new duds make me look more professional and stylish. Now I don’t have to do that again for a couple of years. I prefer to shop at Amazon. They prefer I not look like someone who last entered a menswear store sometime in the last decade.

As good as they make me look with what they have to work with, God has a new suit to excel anything by Joseph A. Bank.

This makes me smile as I attempt to lose five pounds this weekend before my annual physical on Monday.

I will live as well as I can in this body that is wearing down and out, and I will anticipate the body God is preparing for me that will always be full of energy and capability.

Our Father, thank you for all the adventures I’ve had in this body. Thank you for those yet to come. Thank you that the best is yet to be. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
