Today's Endurance Tomorrow's 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."
Romans 8:18

We may be denied, despised and abused in life. But if we hang on to faith and endure tough times, we will be glorified in the end. Let us not forget that we are never alone in our sufferings but suffer with God as His heirs (v.17) and therefore will sure be glorified with Him.

Delight In God's Fatherhood

"And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you: your throne shall be established forever."
2 Samuel 7:16

Let us be sure of the lasting mercies and favor of God on us and our children. Let us enjoy the privilege of having the Almighty God as our Father forever and let us submit to be His children forever so that He will not take His lovingkindness away from us (1 Chronicles 17:13).

Hope, Patience And Prayer

"Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; constant in prayer;"
Romans 12:12

May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace as we trust in Him, that we may abound in the hope of the glory of God through the Holy Ghost (5:2; 15:13). Let us patiently wait during our tribulation, with all hope for the things we don't see (8:25) and continue steadfastly in prayer until we get blessed (Gen.32:26).

Anticipate Ease When In Pain

"When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings."
Psalm 84:6

Let us move forward expecting moments of ease, comfort and peace even as we pass through areas of pain and distress. Our present troubles are just momentary, preparing us for great glory(2 Cor.4:17), when He will refresh our weary hearts with abundant showers (Psa.68:9)

Speak And Receive

"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he said."
Mark 11:23

Let us have faith in GOD, believe without doubt and speak things out and be ready to receive what we said. There is real power in the spoken word of faith. God, who created everything by His word, expects us to experience the power of words of faith.

God Knows Our Everything

"Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is passed over by my God?"
Isaiah 40:27

Let us not feel forsaken or be grieved in our spirit, for nothing that we go through is hidden from the eyes of the Almighty God (Heb.4:13). He who sustains the order of heaven and earth will turn our tables with all ease in His time. Let us just wait on Him (v.28-31) and be renewed in strength.

God Speaks Peace

"I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly."
Psalm 85:8

God alone can speak peace to our troubled spirits. Let us be cautious to listen to His voice and yield to His words in order to relish His peace and be careful not to turn to our own folly lest we lose it.
