“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” [Romans 8:18]
Paul used the word sufferings to describe the troubles of life in the comforting passage where he contrasted life’s troubles to the final glory of heaven, which shall be the reward of all who patiently endure until the end.
Further, he spoke of the afflictions that come to the people of God in this world, and he regarded them as nearly weightless when compared to the weight of glory awaiting all who are submissive, patient and faithful in all their troubles.
“God, make me a patient and faithful servant so that Your glory may be revealed in me. Amen.” [The Power of Prayer]
