Have you ever wondered why good things happen to "bad" people? Sometimes it's all in who you know!
Today's posts are all about ways we can give praise and blessing to those around us, to build them up and encourage them. We'll also talk about ways to receive praise from those we love. Who can you bless today? https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/IHi9.
DEVOTIONAL
Suffering Redeemed
Look around and you’ll quickly identify suffering, grief, and injustice. Maybe you’ve experienced injustice yourself. Maybe you’ve gone through difficult seasons. Or maybe you’ve experienced deep and profound grief due to loss.
Suffering rarely makes sense. We rarely have all of our questions answered within these sorts of seasons. And the hard truth is: most of our questions regarding suffering will go unanswered.
However, Romans 8:18 provides us with a perspective that can help us in seasons of suffering:
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
In this verse, Paul, the author of Romans, points us to the future. All throughout Scripture, God has been working within His people to bring redemption and make things new.
We live in one reality, which includes suffering and grief. But one day, God will return and complete the work He has begun in Jesus. When God returns, Scripture says that all suffering will cease. There will be no more tears, pain, or sickness (Revelation 21:4). At that time, when we join God in heaven, we will be perfected and made whole.
Paul’s encouragement to us is this: persevere through your current season of suffering because what awaits you will be worth waiting for. When God returns and brings us into His presence, we will be perfect and made whole. At that time, we won’t think of the past suffering that we’ve endured. This is why Paul says that our present suffering cannot compare to what will be revealed in us in the future.
How often do you think about heaven? How often do you praise God for His continued work of redeeming us and making us new? Take some time to think about these things.
The more we consider the future and our union with God, the more this perspective will encourage us to endure difficult seasons of life.

As the angels which are in heaven...
There are so many views of life after death, but Yeshua was very clear about marriage and gender after death when He answered the Sadducees.
I would like to know what your understand is of Mark 12:25 "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven."
Angels who show themselves on earth are always described as being male. I say this based purely in the sense of how we physically see the difference between male and female in humans as they haven't been seen nor described when naked in the Bible. How the fallen ones had children with human women is only an assumption as Scripture doesn't say and no one lived back then who can tell us.
My mum has be hope that she will one day be united with my dad who passed away 6 years ago, but this verse always make me wonder what that reunion will be like.
Yes, there won't be any tears and we will be fulfilled, etc., having Yeshua as our king and Father amongst us. That is however not the topic on this questions.
Praise Yahuah for the good and the bad. My brother and I are being evicted because my landlord bought an ounce of cocaine and claimed to have lost $10,000 and is blaming my brother and I for stealing his 10grand. He allows literally everyone into his home and leaves the doors unlocked all the time. After two and a half months of asking, we finally got keys. I nor my brother are taking responsability for my landlord being a fool. Can y'all please pray for us to find a place with a good landlord!? Calgary isn't to bad, but it's getting there. HalleluYah!
Thought for Today: Monday July 10:
Only YHVH Elohiym gives true peace – a quiet gift He sets within us just when we think we have exhausted our search for it.
