In a conversation with my doctor yesterday, he was talking about 'my birthright' - in the context that it is my birthright to expect wellness, healing, happiness.
But of course, this is not my birthright.
Since the fall I have lost my birthright and am under the same curse as Eve "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." (Genesis 3:16).
My birthright as a result of the fall is pain, suffering and death.
I have never been so struck by the difference between the secular world and Christian world and our approach to our 'entitlements'.

But we have now a new birthright, a new inheritance as adopted sons. New hearts, new bodies, a new creation..
Now, but not yet.
so we wait..
we wait
And in this temporal world, the waiting seems to go on forever. I know that God promises it will be 'but an instant', it just doesn't feel like that
