Today’s Reading:
Romans 8:18–30 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
(Romans 8:18)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Readings in Romans — Fruits of God’s Spirit
A Thought for Today
Present pain does not mean hope has disappeared.
What This Means for Us Today
Paul does not deny the reality of suffering.
Instead, he reminds us that suffering is not the end of our story.
Even when we cannot see what God is doing, we can continue to wait with hope.
Carry This With You
What hurts today will not have the final word.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, meet me in what feels heavy today.
Give me hope for what I cannot yet see.
Today’s Invitation
Bring what is hurting to God.
You do not have to hide it in order to have hope.
