Our Scripture for this coming week is from Psalm 22:24, and Romans 8:14-19

Psalm 22:24

For he has not despised or scorned

the suffering of the afflicted one;

he has not hidden his face from him

but has listened to his cry for help.

Romans 14-19:

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

Question for Reflection:

Have you ever thought about suffering/glory as part of your inheritance as a child of God? If not, how does suffering/glory unite us with our co-heir (brother) Jesus?
