“But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.” Romans 8:17
Have your ever met someone who has lived a perfect life? Have you ever seen someone who has gone through life without a problem, a worry or a struggle? You would think that that those who follow Jesus would be able to lead such a life. Well, that could not be further from the truth. As you look at the lives of those in biblical history who have followed Jesus, you see that they had great struggles. They were persecuted and some even died terrible deaths just as Jesus did. However, with faith in Jesus, our God in heaven has provided to us the tools we need to overcome our hardships in this life. Yes, we will have problems as we walk this earth. We will be looked down upon, persecuted, made fun of and some will even be thrown into jail for their beliefs. But it is through all of these terrible experiences that our Lord wants to shine through. He wants to be glorified through how we live our lives and how we are able to handle the struggles we face. We are told plainly that we are to believe, receive and put into action his promises he has provided for us. We are to believe in things unseen and not in the things of the world. It is by faith that we will become overcomers and it is by putting God’s promises into action that we will overcome our battles. It is by faith in the promises he has so graciously given us, that we will be able to share in his glory. However, we must first allow him shine through us in our times of struggle. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
