Reflections from Oak Hills Church small group 4/8/14

Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is too be revealed to us.”

The conversation with this verse really caught me tonight because of the “valley” as they named it that I feel like I am in since moving to San Antonio. Dwelling on my situation of not having my license->not being able to work->not getting paid->worrying about everything is basically where my mind is at all the time. Paul is saying in this verse though that this is nothing! Glory is going to be revealed that is so much greater than any valley/suffering I could ever go through. I need to stop each day and listen to what God is telling me instead of getting stuck in the suffering and missing my family and I need to trust Him.

On my way home from small group, the song “I Surrender All” came on the radio. That is exactly what I need to do. Surrender it all and look forward towards the good that is ahead.
