Don’t Trip, Your Suffering Has an Expiration Date

Declaring His Glory among the nations and His marvelous deeds among all people is part of the great commission of God. Going into all the world and preaching the gospel is our great commission to fulfill (Mark 16:15). Sharing God’s word and the story of Jesus walking the earth, is the gospel. All that He accomplished, all He had to suffer, and deal with has become our story today. He learned obedience through the things He suffered and so must we (Hebrews 5:8). By going through the storms of life, crisis, or any other strong opposite against our witness for Christ, should be just another day for the strong believers of faith. Sainthood finds its source in suffering. Metal must be tempered, heated, and hammered, and then quickly plunged into cold water. Shortly after it will be known whether it will accept the tempering process or simply fall to pieces. We are that metal in the Lord’s hands. As He shapes and moulds us into who we really are to be, allow the process because then and only then, will we be able to truly declare God’s Glory among the Nations. With experience, and understanding of how and what God brought us through, we can boldly declare His marvelous deeds among all peoples.
