Words of Encouragement
March - 27 - 2005
Have you ever asked yourself, is life worth it? The answer of course is, Oh yes! It's more than worth it. We can't begin to imagine the glory God has in store for us. No matter how hard, bad, or painful our trip through this world may be, our future with God holds something so much better. Does that mean our difficulties are meaningless or insignificant? Absolutely not! But our future glory with God does mean that it is more than worth it to hang in, to be faithful, and to receive his glorious reward!
Let us read Romans 8:18.
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.
Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.
Father, we confess that we don't like suffering, pain, disappointment, persecution, or sorrow. we do, however, believe that your promises are true. we hold on to the promise that the glory you have in store for us is far greater than the difficulties we face. Strengthen us for the days ahead and use us to bring you glory no matter what our current situation may be.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
