Glory Days

I am 40 years old. Our culture would say that my "glory days" are behind me (unless, of course, 40 really is the new 30). However, according to a biblical world view, my glory days are not behind me, they are ahead of me—and always will be until I see Jesus face to face. That is good news, especially in the face of the unglory of suffering, setbacks, sin and failures. As Paul says, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." As some say, "The best is yet to come." In the gospel that is true. That is a strong source of hope. And all because of Jesus.
