Topic: HOPE FOR GLORY
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Rom 8:18)
It is truth that man cannot escape the challenges of life which the Bible refers to it as “the sufferings of this present time”, because they are part of the things that mold us into maturity, making it possible for us to respond to life with active responsibilities.
Responsibility is what separates a mature person from a child. Maturity makes you not to repeat past mistakes of life. It keeps you focused on your purpose and calling. It makes you not to murmur on your duty post because it makes you have a mental picture of your glorious future which is nothing compared to what you are passing through right now.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (2 Cor.4:17)
It doesn’t matter the number of people mocking you or the names they are calling you, it doesn’t even matter the negative stories you may be hearing or the frightening experiences or shortages you have noticed in your finances, let your confident be drawn from the fact that the Bible refers to it as “light affliction”. What does this mean? It means that the glory of your future has more weight than whatever you are passing through right now.
You should be engaging yourself in an extreme mode of thanksgiving because your tomorrow is heavier than today by reason of the blessings that awaits you.
MEDITATION:
I position my thought pattern to align with the glory that God has prepared ahead of me.
PRAYER:
1. O Lord, the strength of my salvation, cover and protect me, may I not be swallowed by affliction in Jesus name.
2. O Lord, grant not the desires of the wicked over my affairs and my family in Jesus name.
FOR EXTRA DOSE, DWELL ON: Psalm 16:9, Rom. 5:2
