8:18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Paul knew hardship: take a look in 2 Corinthians 11:22-33 at the
list of just some of the difficult challenges he had to face. His
"present sufferings" make most of our difficulties seem tame by
comparison. However, Paul could say confidently that the glory he
would have with Christ (cf. Col. 3:1-4) would be so incredible,
with blessings so fantastic, that his hardships are minor in
comparison. That glory will also be ours! Now isn't that fantastic
news.
Holy and Almighty God, you are awesome, glorious, and majestic.
I praise you for reaching down and saving me by your grace. Father,
most of the time my faith is strong and I feel confident about my
future. However, at times my faith can waver when I知 confronted
with grave difficulties. Give me courage and boldness, dear God, to
face those challenges with the conviction that they are actually
minor in comparison to the glory you will share with me when Jesus
returns. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
