"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Romans 8:18
Many of us may suffer now, and may suffer in the future. But once we have a new body, and a new life in Christ Jesus, that's not even going to matter. That will be like a speck of dust in the wide ocean. We won't even remember it, it will be so insignificant. It may be all that we can think and dwell on at the moment, but the glory we will receive is infinitely better.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him..." Romans 8:28
God can also use bad situations to create good. While our earthly bodies ache, and catastrophes arise, that just might be what it takes in order to come to God. If we suffer some here, but come to know the eternal life in Jesus, it was all worth it.
Lord, help me to not question when things don't go well. If you are using that situation to bring me closer to You, or to maybe even bring someone else to You, help me to see it and realize it, and act according to Your purpose.
