It is very easy to become disconsolate by the lockdown which we are experiencing. The isolation from loved ones, from our Church and from our colleagues may seem to be really awful right now. However, Paul says that he considers the sufferings that he was facing to be nothing compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
And this is so heartening to us all. We should think about our lives after we leave this earth and know that the glory that will be revealed to us will be so wonderful that all of this will pale into insignificance.
If Paul could feel this way, then we, too, should know that GOD has a glorious plan for us and we should eagerly anticipate that.
We therefore need to be sure that we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and our Saviour. We need to know that Jesus is in us and has filled us with the Holy Spirit. We need to be sure that we have repented and know that GOD has forgiven us. We need to forgive those who have sinned against us.
Are we ready? Let us make sure.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I eagerly await the revelation of YOUR glory. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and my Saviour. Forgive my sins as I forgive all those who sin against me. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today.
