Enjoy.</p> <p><strong>Our Daily Devotional today is found in Romans 8:18-30. </strong><strong>Feel free to read along in the show notes below.</strong><br> <strong>Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this scripture so comment on this episode at <a href="http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/romans-818-30/">http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/romans-818-30/</a>.</strong></p> <p><span class="text Rom-8-18"><sup class="versenum">18 </sup>For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28120" class="text Rom-8-19"><sup class="versenum">19 </sup>For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28121" class="text Rom-8-20"><sup class="versenum">20 </sup>For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope</span> <span id="en-ESV-28122" class="text Rom-8-21"><sup class="versenum">21 </sup>that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28123" class="text Rom-8-22"><sup class="versenum">22 </sup>For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28124" class="text Rom-8-23"><sup class="versenum">23 </sup>And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28125" class="text Rom-8-24"><sup class="versenum">24 </sup>For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?</span> <span id="en-ESV-28126" class="text Rom-8-25"><sup class="versenum">25 </sup>But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.</span></p> <p><span id="en-ESV-28127" class="text Rom-8-26"><sup class="versenum">26 </sup>Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28128" class="text Rom-8-27"><sup class="versenum">27 </sup>And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28129" class="text Rom-8-28"><sup class="versenum">28 </sup>And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28130" class="text Rom-8-29"><sup class="versenum">29 </sup>For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.</span> <span id="en-ESV-28131" class="text Rom-8-30"><sup class="versenum">30 </sup>And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.</span></p> <p><strong>What do you think? </strong><br> <strong>Comment on this episode at <a href="http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/romans-818-30/">http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/romans-818-30/</a>. </strong><br> <strong>Email me with comments, feedback, or prayer requests at <a href="mailto:dailydevotionalpodcast@gmail.com">dailydevotionalpodcast@gmail.com</a> and you can follow me on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/devotionpodcast">@devotionpodcast</a>.
