WINGS OF LEAD

OUR TEXT IN ITS ORIGINAL CONTEXT and fo rus now, encourages those of us caught between the aspiractions of what we would be as ministerss and teh real pressure of ministry that gives us wings. Paul gives us another outlook here. While we whine that our stress is so heavy it’s killing us, he says that it;s momentary and light. For him, glory is eternal and heavy. We should note that Paul does not mean an automatic relationship exists between trouble and glory. There is no alchemy that adds lead to trouble and turns it into the gold of glory. It is only GOD who can take tribulation and cause it to work out an abundant glory, GOD enables you not to lose heart.

Beloved, do not think tit strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice in the extent that you partake in christ’s suffereings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

1 PETER 4:12-13
