Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.

Suffering. All creation groans, do we not all feel the effects of sin that is in the world? Look at the challenges it will produce in the day ahead and how we are to live above it with the hope of Christ within that all is well. As a fallen human, I want to live in heaven here, I don't want the suffering that we must endure. But that is part of the effects of sin from the one who brought it into the world.

Yet there is the gift of hope, of knowing the Everlasting God and living with Him, in Him and through Him. This is what gives us hope, gives us endurance, gives us life that brings about purpose and not futility. Even in the suffering there is purpose that brings about the glory of God.

"Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us."‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭5‬

Dear Father, the groaning stretches us to seek You out in the situation, to ask for help that goes beyond our human nature and trust in Your divine will. Thank You Father for allowing us to be purified and tested in fire which produces hope, hope in the everlasting life with You. Prayers for the soul that needed to hear this today. May we all see Your glory be brought about thru the sufferings of the day. Bless this day and what it will produce, Love Your son.
