Romans 8:18 - I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Sharing in his Suffering

By Joyce Meyer -

As Christians, we like the though of sharing in Christ's glory, but what about sharing in His suffering?  Jesus took care of the death penalty once and fora ll so we don't ever have to worry about that again.  But the Bible teaches that we must suffer times of trial if we are to share in the glory.  Is it worth it?  According to Romans 8:18 it certainly is!

We tend to believe that we suffer because of our circumstances and if they would only change, we'd be able to act right.  But God wants us to become so mature and stable that we act right even when none of our circumstances are good.  There are different levels of faith, and most of the time we want to use our faith to get rid of all suffering.  But sometimes God's planis for us to exercise a higher level of faith that will carry us through life's challenges.

Too often we marvel at the delivering power of God and overlook His keeping, strengtheing and enabling power.  Jesus promised in John 16:33 that He will give us His peace during the trials of life and the power we need  to overcome them.  I encourage you today, if you are going through a time of suffering, take heart because in Christ, you will come through it and share in His glory which shall be revealed!

Romans 8:18 - I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Prayer Starter:  Lord, Paul said that present sufferings are nothing compared to the glory that comes from walking with You.  I want to have that same attitude.  I receive your enabling power to walk through any suffering that comes my way.

This sounds weird but this article sort of makes sense of stuff that's happened to me in the past and what's happening at the present.
