What's To Come

Good Morning!! Paul knew enough about what was coming to say, I reckon, an accounting term, meaning he had taken a careful inventory, done the calculations, and come to a careful and reliable conclusion. And what Paul was comparing was the sufferings of this time (with which he was intimately and personally acquainted), and the glory to come for every believer in Jesus Christ. He added up the multiple trials, heartaches, losses, and sorrows of this world and carefully considered this sum in relation to the glory afterwards, he came to this stunning realization: the two should not even be compared, because the amount of the one,...is so much more than the mass, of the other.

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 (KJV)

Anyone who has experienced even a fraction of the pain, that this world holds, will find this hard to imagine. We cannot conceive of a happiness so deep,...a pleasure so complete,...a glory so glorious that our grief here is swallowed up by it. But God does not ask us to fathom such a claim,...He simply requires that by faith we believe it.

Get to know Jesus now,...and start experiencing that coming joy, today.

Most gracious Heavenly Father, Your love for us, is so vast that we cannot fully comprehend it. Because of our human limitations and constant failings, we cannot envision past what we understand. Because we will never embrace Your vastness,...help us just relax and anticipate Your wondrous glory, by faithfully living for You. You tell us, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." Glory to Your name. Amen.

"God goes before us, follows behind us, and hems us safe inside the realm of His protection."
