Romans 8:19: For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Let me give my translation of this verse: For the creation, watching with outstretched head (head erect), is waiting (sighing) for the revelation of the sons of God. The world is not waiting for the sunrise of evolution’s pipe dream. The pipe dream of evolution will never come true. However, creation is waiting “for the manifestation of the sons of God.” Creation is like a veiled statue today. When the sons of God have removed the outward covering of this flesh, creation also will be unveiled. What a glorious day that will be! 1

Application

  • This verse helps us to see how our great God is absolutely in charge of everything in our lives right now.
  • What has God revealed to you recently about Himself?

Prayer

Lord, I am so thankful that You never serve leftovers. Everything from You is always fresh and new.
