October 8 Devotion

We’ve been talking recently about dealing with different emotions or other issues. Let’s continue that trend today. This is important stuff. Have you ever experienced pain? What about experiencing suffering? Or betrayal? Or any emotions that come with anxiety? Well of course you have. We all have. And chances are that we all will again experience some of them again. They come with being human. They are part of living in this world. 

Psalm 118:6 says, “The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” Truth is, we have experienced fear and pain. All of us. We have experienced betrayal. We have experienced suffering. We have experienced death. Once again, all parts of living in this world.

But with the Lord in our hearts, we can get through these things. And even better is the fact that the glory that we receive when we leave this earth is so tremendous, that anything we experience while on earth, is nothing! It pales in comparison. We have no idea what we’re in for. It’s going to be beyond our wildest dreams and imaginations. That’s what I think the verse is talking about. The glory awaits us because God loves us. Always has. Always will.
