(Romans 8:18) "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."
I am studying this chapter of Romans this week and this verse struck me today. It is very timely in my life. I so much of the time am focused on my suffering or what is going on in my life. The battle between the flesh and the Spirit. Financial difficulties and successes. The just simple struggles and sufferings of this life. I know I am probably not seeing all that is in this verse and all that it is meaning. But I am so thankful that God has prepared glory that is so much better than anything I might face in this life.
My biggest problem is that I focus to much on the present problems and not on the one that can take care of them. I know that I serve the great God of heaven and that he cares for me and calls me son. It is so much easier to say this than to live in its reality.
I am going to strive to look to the author and finisher of my faith and trust him with all that is going on in my life that I might not like. I will live who God has made me in Christ and look to Him to take care of my problems as I did to my dad when I was a child. I will look to God who is my father and cares for me more than my earthly father ever could and trust Him to do what is right and best. What will bring Him the most glory.
May God get the utmost glory from my life. I don't want an easy life but a full life to the glory of God my heavenly Father. I am so thankful I can call Him my dad and rest in His mercy, grace, truth, love, care, and the list could go on for ever.
Thank you God for loving me and taking care of me and guiding every step of my life.
