Episode 092--Towards Glory
As we’re running this race called life it’s good to remember that we are headed towards glory.
Suffering is part of living in our very mortal bodies. But suffering for Christ, either physically or in any other way, is not losing. It is winning. Romans 8:18 tell us that “what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later.”
2 Cor. 4:17 NLT echoes that. “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!”
I’ve know some great moments here on earth,
sweet, intimate moments with my husband, loving moments with my
children, beautiful moments exploring God’s creation, awesome times
celebrating with family and friends. Multiply those by 1,000 and it
still doesn’t come close to the glory that will be revealed to us
one day.
1 Cor. 2:9 NLT says, “No eye has
seen, no ear has heard, and
no mind has imagined
what
God has prepared for those
who love Him.”
It’s almost as if God is pulling back the curtain just a little to give us a taste of what is coming. In the great scheme of things, the suffering, the disappointments and pain that we encounter today are not such a big deal because we are in a race to the finish line. We are headed towards glory!
