The ups and downs of life
Ahhh, the ups and downs of life. We have surely had our share lately! Yet I am reminded that celebration and setbacks are all part of life and should be even more expected as a believer!
“Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:17-18)
If Christ suffered, then so must we. He surely had His share of celebrations and feasts. However, we also know that He had His share of suffering . . . . but nothing like what we go through.
So as we go through life's ups and downs, may we focus on the finish line . . . let's trust the process as coaches say. Celebrate the births, the birthdays, the weddings, the graduations, and all of life's ups. Push through the illnesses, canceled trips, financial challenges, and even the anticipated and unexpected deaths. . . . the downs.
Look forward to the glory to be revealed . . . .
