God will turn around our suffering just like he did for Job. But he may not do it quickly, or in our lifetime. However long we suffer, God promises to bless those who stay close to him, and he promises to give us what we need most—himself. As Christians, we will have very hard things happen to us like Jesus did. But we suffer “that we may also be glorified with him” (Rom. 8:17). Jesus died, but now he reigns as King in heaven. Like him, we will suffer and die. But one day we will join him in heaven. Suffering on earth; glories in heaven. And because we have this heavenly hope, we can remind ourselves of that future when things are hard. We can wait, knowing that “all things work together for good” for those God loves (8:28). And we are loved. Can anything “separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?” No! “Neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (8:35, 38–39). What amazing love!
