Sunday - October 27. Topic: “Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”—Thomas Moore (1779-1852) God’s Word is always a comfort and the voice of His Spirit is always an encouragement in the hour of greatest trial. The Bible says, “The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18). When we think about that, it helps us bear some of the things we have to go through now. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). We need to keep our eyes on Jesus and the end of life’s road. “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17). God’s tomorrow is a beautiful place. We’ll be with Jesus and all our loved ones, and “there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying” (Revelation 21:4). He will wipe away our tears, and the former things shall be forgotten in the glories of the ecstasies of the kingdom to come. — Romans 5:3-5 ESV - More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. 1 Peter 4:12-13 ESV - Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
