More Than Conquerors: 10 Days in Romans 8Näide

Future Glory

Pain can make the present feel endless. But Paul reminds us there’s something ahead so good, so beautiful, that it will make every hard thing worth it:

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18 NIV).

Paul isn’t denying how much suffering hurts—he knew it firsthand. But he’s saying that when we finally see what God has waiting for us, we’ll look back and realize even our worst days can’t compare to the joy ahead.

Even creation itself is groaning, waiting for the day when God will set things right. And so are we. Every ache, every disappointment, every prayer that ends in tears—all of it points us forward to the day God will make all things new.

So when life feels heavy, don’t lose heart. Lift your eyes. Glory is coming.
