Today’s Devotional

In Romans 8:18, Paul highlights the temporary nature of our present sufferings in comparison to the eternal glory that awaits believers. As followers of Christ, we will face challenges and trials, but these difficulties are incomparable to the blessings and rewards that will be revealed to us in heaven.

Time to reflect

Reflecting on Romans 8:18, we can consider the following points on how to apply the teachings of this verse in our personal lives:

• Trust in God’s promises. As believers, we should trust that God has prepared an eternal glory for us that will be far greater than any suffering we experience in this life. Trust in His promises and hold onto the hope that He provides.
• Persevere through trials. Recognize that the hardships we face are temporary and serve a purpose in refining our faith. Allow these experiences to strengthen your relationship with God and deepen your reliance on Him.
• Encourage others with the hope of eternal glory. Share the hope and comfort found in the promise of eternal glory with others who may be struggling with their faith or facing difficult circumstances.
