Today’s Blog

As we continue to read through Paul’s guidance in Romans 12, we first see that we are rejoice in hope. Rejoicing includes celebration and being filled with joy. It is different than being happy. Hope is not wishful thinking but being confident in the promises of God and assured of him fulfilling them.

Paul then states that we are to be patient in affliction. Patience is difficult. We want what we want, and we want it now. Our culture is one of instant gratification. Affliction includes being in pain, perhaps misery. So, we are to trust God and patiently wait for him as we are suffering.
