Romans Chapter 8,

18 through 25.

For I consider that the sufferings of this

the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself

also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves

having the first fruits of the spirit, even we ourselves grown within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons,

the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope. For why does one also hope for what he sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance, we wait eagerly for it.

Let's pray. I heed not, nor man's empty praise.

Thou, mine inheritance now and always.

Thou and thou only first in my heart. High King of heaven, my treasure, thou art. My heart's desire, Lord, is that every person in this room would be able to say that from the bottom of their heart.

You're our treasure, you're our inheritance, You're our hope. When everybody is growing, weak and dying.

whole creation groans and we groan.

And all around our soul gives way, then you are all our hope and stay.

So now come, build yourself under our lives as the foundation when everything is falling apart,

and the whole world seems to come apart. And the whole world seems to come apart at the seams. And we're

struck in our bodies and struck in our minds and struck in our marriages and

struck in our children, struck in our children,

struck in our jobs.
