(S)cripture-
2 Cor. 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
(O)bservation-
Even though it may be hard to fathom because of the way we as humans perceive it now, any kind of suffering or trial we face in this world is minuscule compared to the glory we will experience in heaven. For we as believers, this is such an exciting element of our faith - we can endure this world because of God's promise for our future.
(A)pplication-
While I am on this earth I will do God's will and trust in Him in all situations - no matter how much suffering or persecution that may involve. But I greatly anticipate the eternal glory that awaits when Jesus returns to take us home.
(P)rayer-
Lord God in Heaven, I know that no mind can conceive what it will be like in Heaven but I know that it will be awesome and amazing beyond our wildest dreams. Until that day Father, please help us to withstand all the trials and suffering of this world as we do the work of Your Kingdom. Thank You for all the blessings we have now and most of all for our salvation and eternal life through Your Son Jesus Christ. As I come before You this Easter morning I am humbled by Your great love and mercy and thank You for my new life because Jesus is risen! I love and praise You forever, Amen.
