Suffering: part 4 of 10

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.

In this world there is much suffering -and all of it can be traced back to the introduction of sin into the world but Adam - one choice changed it all - but the truth be known God already knew what was about to take place- God is always ahead of us - we cannot see the whole picture like God can - HE sees it all - and all of it at once -to God there is no yesterday and there is no tomorrow and right now is forever to God - but where we see things and were we live is limited -even if you are nearly 40 years old - that's not that long - we have been here but a speak of time and we will then be gone one day - like it or not -we are leaving this place - which is not our home - we need to think about that -this is not our home - and yet we are comfortable here - this is really all we have known - and before that we don't remember- Today's verse says that the present trials are temporary and eternity is forever- Paul says that the present sufferings are passing by and one day really soon we will be home forever- Paul had a hard life in many ways - but at the same time a very blessed life -He knew what it meant to be satisfied in all circumstances -Because his hope was in the LORD not in himself or his circumstances - lets face it - bad things seem to happy to good people and the bad ones seem to be able to continue without any consequence- the truth is in the end its all about God anyway! We may be going through a very deep and very rocky valley right now - but it won't last forever - you may be at your wits end - but it won't last forever- we need to concentrate on the eternal - that is all that matters but sadly is the greatest thing ignored -
We will have trials so long as their is air in our lungs- but we also have the promises of GOD that HE will not forsake us - the trials of today will bring glory tomorrow - Praise the LORD!

A SIDE NOTE:
Trials are a fact of life - but they won't last forever- for eternity awaits God's children!

in CHRIST our earthly troubles are only temporary!
