“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 NIV
The apostle Paul reminds us that no matter how intense or painful our current sufferings may be, they are insignificant when compared to the glory God has promised to those who are in Christ Jesus. This statement does not ignore pain but places it in the eternal perspective.
Jesus Himself said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). As believers, we are not exempt from suffering, but we live with the assurance that God is with us and that all things work together for good according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
The coming glory is not a distant illusion but a secure promise. It will be revealed to us and in us (Colossians 3:4), turning every trial into testimony and every tear into praise. That is why we can persevere, knowing that the best is yet to come.
Today’s prayer
Prayer: Lord, thank You that although I may face trials and suffering today, they are nothing compared to the glory You have prepared for me. Strengthen my faith to see beyond my circumstances and to trust in Your faithfulness. Abba Father, we present this prayer in the name of Your beloved Son, Jesus. Amen.
