Monday Meditations are designed to get you to thinking about scriptures that you may have not previously thought much about. It is to hopefully get you to meditating on a particular scripture for the entire week. I think this week you may ponder this one for some time.

Today’s Meditation Verse:
Romans 8:19
19) All creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal who his children are.
Monday Meditations are designed to get you to thinking about scriptures that you may have not previously thought much about. It is to hopefully get you to meditating on a particular scripture for the entire week. I think this week you may ponder this one for some time.
The world that we know today is not what was originally created prior to the fall of man. We cannot comprehend the way creation was because we have no form of reference. All that we know is what we have seen and experienced in our lifetime.
Prior to the fall of man we know that the snake walked upright, probably on legs (Genesis 3:14). That is hard for us to comprehend since we have never seen such a sight and can barely imagine it.
In Luke 19:40 Jesus says that …even the very stones would cry out… For a stone to cry out there must have been that capability at one time, but was silenced at the fall.
The same is true of animals. In II Peter 2:16 Peter talks about the story of Baalam who would not do what is right and a donkey was used to speak to him. Was that yet again an indication that at one time animals could speak as humans?
So when we read this scripture above, it makes sense that all of creation which was affected and changed by the fall of man is waiting for that final redemptive day so that they may be released, to be able to praise God and live as they were created in the garden.
What are they waiting on? For the children of God to be revealed.
Each Monday I am going to be having ‘Monday Meditations’. I hope to bring to you each Monday a verse to mediate on for the week. This is not for memorization, but to think about and to dwell on. The word meditate, in the bible, means to mutter. So this week as you go about your life, think about and mutter to yourself the verse for the week and think about how it applies to your life. Meditating on a verse will bind it to your spirit and it will become part of you! The more of the Word you meditate on, the more it will transform you into the image of Christ!
