When you go through hardships, you show others God’s glory. Let your life – even with all its hardships – “declare his glory and his marvelous works among all people.”
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And for seven years, Stephanie and her husband had prayed for a baby. But with Stephanie’s serious health problems, conceiving a child seemed almost impossible. It’s why when Stephanie and her husband finally received the news that they were expecting, everyonerejoiced! Friends, family, even her doctors and nurses were all amazed at this precious miracle of life. Stephanie says, “God answered our prayers for a child, a child whose life would bring great glory to him all of her days. Without the hardships, and the waiting, the gut-wrenching seeking—the glory wouldn’t be as bright and seen by so many.”Friend that’s what hardships do: they show others God’s glory. So today, join Stephanie, and do as 1 Chronicles 16 says. Let your life—even with all its hardships—“declare his glory [and] his marvelous works among all people.”
