God doesn’t abandon us when we’re suffering. When Jesus asked His disciples, ”Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” (Matthew 20:22),
He was teaching them that there would be suffering. There’s a great
difference between the way in which worldly people and godly people
react to suffering. ”Men of this world whose reward is in this life” (Psalm 17:14)
don’t see any eternal purpose in suffering. The believer looks beyond
the suffering to the glory which is yet to come: “And I, in
righteousness, I shall see Your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied
with seeing Your likeness” (Psalm 17:15).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
