Happy Friday!
I hope this short article will encourage you.
Suffering prevails for many in our world today:
- Financial hardship
- Physical suffering
- Grieving loss
- Stress from various circumstances
- Mental health pressures
- Loss due to violent or unjust death
On and on I could go. But you've had enough of that.
Turn to Romans 8:18:
There we find the sufferings of this world simply don't compare to the glory that will be revealed in us.
This is not a stray thought. It takes the form of a promise. God promises a future glory truly beyond compare.
So today, in the midst of my struggles and yours, we can rejoice if we truly trust Christ, that whatever struggle we have simply does not compare to the glory of eternity.
Refreshed? I hope so. Press on friend. God knows us, and he has greater things to reveal in us and through us when the struggles of this life have passed.
In Christ,
Pastor Kevin
