And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
If we belong to Christ, we know the Spirit of God lives in us (Romans 8:9). Because of the Spirit's presence, we know that we are eternal! The Spirit is God's down payment, guaranteeing that our future is with him (2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5). What's more, even while we're living for Christ now, the Spirit gives life to our physical bodies as we use them for God's glory (Romans 12:1). He will do this until the time the Spirit raises us from our physical death and brings us into the eternal presence of God in our immortal bodies (1 Corinthians 15:50-58).
Father, please animate my physical body with your Spirit so that what I do not only brings you glory but also reflects your character and grace. Please empower and transform me with your Spirit until you raise me with my immortal body to be with you forever. To you, O Father, be all the glory for your presence and power at work within me, your child. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.
When we tune our hearts to God's will and we long to honor our LORD, our Father delights in blessing us in mighty ways. (See yesterday's devotional thoughts.) So, let's first set our hearts on doing his will. Then, let's not be afraid to ask God to pour his blessings on others and share with the LORD the desires of our hearts. Finally, let's not be surprised at how many ways he blesses us in response to our prayers!
O God, please show yourself to be glorious in the ways you bless me, especially the ways you bless those I love. Help all people know that these blessings do not come from our wisdom, skill, or strength but from your grace. In Jesus' name, I ask it. Amen.

Be careful not to misread this promise as saying that God will give us whatever we want. Notice that first emphatic phrase that qualifies this promise: "Delight yourself in the LORD..." As my heart delights in the LORD — in his will and his purposes — I find a fantastic truth at work; he fulfills those desires. When I yearn for what the LORD wants, he enjoys giving me the desires of my heart. An old hymn has us sing this prayer: "Sweet will of God, still fold me closer, till I am wholly lost in Thee." When I lose myself in the will of God, and my heart delights to honor him, God rushes to bring us the desires of our heart and bless me with more of him! Delighting in the LORD leads to a heart full of the LORD's delightful presence and blessings!
Holy LORD, God of our Fathers and the Great Giver* of every good and perfect gift, thank you for longing to bless me and pour the riches of your grace upon me. Please touch my heart so it will desire your will and then boldly ask you to accomplish it to your glory. In Jesus' name, I find my delight and joyfully pray. Amen.
