This much-loved and often-cited verse is about Paul's perspective
He has previously written that all who are in Christ are heirs of God's kingdom with Christ
Since all who are in Christ will share in His suffering before sharing in His glory
This begins a powerful passage in which Paul discusses living as a Christian, through the suffering that comes with this life on earth
Some Bible teachers suggest that Paul is referring "only" to suffering caused by persecution for faith in Christ
Based on the full context of the passage however...
There is every reason to understand Paul to include the everyday suffering that comes with living on this sin-stained planet
He will be clear that it is experienced by all creatures
( ~ Romans 8:20 )
But that only those who are in Christ look forward to sharing in the glories of God's kingdom afterwards
Paul's perspective continues

Part 2 continues...
Paul's perspective is that our present sufferings are not even worth holding up in comparison with the glories that will be revealed in us
Some readers might be tempted to hear Paul glossing over the enormous pain, physical and emotional, that comes with human existence
He is not
Instead...
Paul is elevating the much more enormous glory to come
Paul understood pain very deeply
~ 2 Corinthians 11:23โ29
Contains a small sampling of his experiences...
Hunger, Thirst, Danger, Imprisonment, Torture, and Persecution
And yet...
He says all of that suffering cannot compare to the glories that will be revealed at some future time to saved believers as God's heirs with Christ
Truly...
Those Endless Glories must be incomprehensibly wonderful, satisfying, and meaningful
Without Christ...
We could never participate in God's glory because of our sin
( ~ Romans 3:23 )
In Christ, as God's fully adopted heirs...
We will fully experience His glory forever
( ~ Romans 6:23 )
This verse does not minimize the pain we experience
It simply puts it into an eternal perspective
~ Romans 8:18โ30
Talks about the participation of Christians in the everyday suffering experienced by all of creation
We all groan together as a woman in labor while we wait for God to reveal His children
As His children...
We are waiting for the Father to complete our adoption by redeeming our bodies so that we can be with Him
God's Spirit helps us in the season of waiting by taking our unformed prayers to God
We trust that God uses every circumstance in our lives for His purposes and that He has chosen us long ago to be His children
~ Romans 8
Begins and ends with declarations of the Christian's absolute security before God
There is no condemnation for those in Christ
And nothing will ever be able to separate us from His love
Having believed the gospel...
We now live in the Spirit of God
That allows us to call
God Abba Father
We suffer with Christ
And we suffer along with all creation while we wait for God to reveal us as His sons
With the help of the Spirit...
We are confident that God is for us and loves us in Christ
HAVE A VERY
BLESSED DAY EVERYONE

How Far Will You Go For Jesus? (Romans 15:22-29)
Romans 15:22โ29 shows us what it truly means to live โfor the love of God.โ From Paulโs desire to visit Rome and push on to Spain, to the call for believers today to go to the ends of the earth, this message challenges us to live with purpose, vision, andโฆ

He was called a man after Godโs own heart.
A worshiper. A warrior. A king anointed by heaven itself.
And yet one night, standing on the roof of his palace, David let his eyes fall where they never should have stayed.
He did not wake up that morning planning to destroy his life. He did not plan betrayal. He did not plan bloodshed. He simply stopped looking toward God and started looking at what he wanted.
Bathsheba was bathing. David was watching. Desire spoke louder than devotion.
And in that moment, the man who wrote psalms forgot the God who gave him breath. He sent for her. He took her. He slept with her.
And when the consequences came knocking, David did not repent right away. He covered. He schemed. He calculated. He called her husband home from war. When that did not work, he arranged his death. Uriah died fighting for a king who had already betrayed him.
To the public, it looked clean. A royal marriage. A quiet transition. A king moving on. But heaven saw the blood on the covenant.
God sent Nathan, not to destroy David, but to expose him. Every secret thought. Every hidden motive. Every lie buried under power and privilege. Nothing escaped the eyes of God.
And the judgment came. The child died. The sword entered his house. The sin he thought was hidden became known.
Not because God is cruel. But because sin never stays buried. And here is where this story becomes personal. Maybe you have never arranged a death. But maybe you have buried something.
A secret relationship. An abortion no one knows about. An addiction you hide behind smiles. A compromise you justified. A spiritual practice you know God never approved. You dating a married man. You dating a married woman.
You told yourself no one saw. You told yourself it was over. You told yourself it would stay hidden. But hear this clearly. God sees it all. Not with hatred. Not with surprise. But with truth.
And here is the part that changes everything.
Run to the God who already sees you and still wants you. Because the same God who exposed David also restored him. And He is willing to do the same for you.

Jeremiah 49:34-39 | KJB
is the full passage you can find in part 1.
Its highlighted verse is Jeremiah 49:37 of which I made an image as the complete passage wasn't suitable for one small image.
The passage itself holds a prophecy against Elam that roughly dates back to 597 B.C. Elam was a nation to the (south-) east of Babylon, now modern day Iran. Both Elam and Babylon were located where today's Iran is located.
The prophecy was made by the prophet Jeremiah during Zedekiah's early reign. In this passage God announces to Jeremiah the destruction of Elam's military, scattering its people worldwide due to their hostility. The prophecy itself ends with a promise of restoration for Elam in the future.
Like Elam can be restored, remember that all else, including you, can be restored. Nothing is every too far gone or impossible with such an amazing God as ours. Let it motivate you to not give up any hope on restoration...
Have a blessed day ๐๐ฝ๐

Here, in what is likely the oldest of all the psalms...
Moses answers a question which comes up even today
When did God begin ?
The answer is that He did not "begin"
He has always existed
And He always will exist
He is eternal
Without beginning or end
He lived before He formed the mountains and brought the earth and the universe into existence
This is not merely something Scripture claims
It is also a logical necessity
There must be one un-created and un-caused "something" to originate everything else
Otherwise...
There could never be anything at all
The Son of God is also eternal
He described Himself to the apostle John on the island of Patmos as
"'the Alpha and the Omegaโฆ'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty'"
( ~ Revelation 1:8 )
John affirms that in

Part 2 Continues...
~ John 1:2โ3 affirms that the eternal Son of God
"was in the beginning with God"
and...
"all things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made"
The Holy Spirit, the third member of the Trinity, is also eternal
~ Hebrews 9:14 tells us Jesus offered Himself as the flawless sacrifice
"through the eternal Spirit"
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the eternal members of the Trinity
And each played a role in creation
The Father spoke everything into existence through His Son
And the Holy Spirit hovered over the face of the waters
( ~ Genesis 1:1 )
~ Psalm 90:1โ2 cites God as eternally existent and Israel's dwelling place
Meaning their refuge
He also describes God as the Creator
God is not part of the creation...
He existed before He created the mountains, the earth, and the world
He has always existed and always will exist
~ Genesis 1 and 2 describe God's creative process
~ Hebrews 11:3 points out that God created the universe by His spoken word
My Prayer for today...
Heavenly Father,
I worship You because You are God from everlasting to everlasting
Before the mountains were formed or the earth was created
You existed
In times of change...
I rest in Your eternal, unchanging nature
Be my dwelling place
My stability
And my source of wisdom
For You alone are God
Yesterday, Today, & Forever
IN JESUS NAME
I THANK YOU
AMEN
