For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us - Romans 8:18.
Everything in the world is temporary. The sufferings of this present
time in the world are temporary and they are not worthy compared with the glory
to be revealed in us. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is
working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. For the things
which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal - 2
Corinthians 4:17,18. We live in a temporary world but our God is eternal and He had promised us eternal life. Whoever
believes in the Son has eternal life - John 3:36.
Even though we live in this world,
we are not of the world. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the
world - John 17:16. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are
looking for the city that is to come - Hebrews 13:14. Our citizenship is in
heaven and not in this temporary world. For our citizenship is in heaven, from
which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ - Philippians 3:20. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world - John 16:33.
There may be tribulations in the world but let us just be still as our God had overcome the world. Be still and know that I am God - Psalm 46:10. Nothing can harm us as God is with us. Let us fix our eyes on Christ and not on our problems. Let us thank God regardless of our situations as all things work good for those who love Him. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you - 1 Thessalonians 5:18. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose - Romans 8:28.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to endure
the temporary sufferings of this present time with joy as it is nothing compared to the
glory to follow. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
