Knowing God's Consolation

 

Today's verse is 2 Corinthians 1:7

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 

    We know that if we are in Christ Jesus, we are partakers of his Grace, yet in the times that we are not evidently suffering, that grace may go unnoticed. But when we are called upon to suffer, even as our Savior suffered, or even suffering during chastisement, that grace that we have of God becomes more evident, to one degree or another, according to the purpose for which we suffer. So, during those seasons when you are called upon to suffer, be diligently looking for that grace, even the consolation which the Lord your God has for you, for of a surety it will be there, if only to be seen later, that the lesson God has for you may be learned. So, stand fast, and be steadfast, knowing that you shall reap in due time, if you faint not in well doing. Amen.

To God be the Glory
