Having experienced multiple beatings and imprisonments—and even a stoning—Paul was no stranger to suffering. Although he was well acquainted with physical pain, he held fast to the promise of eternity with God and was eager for the afterlife.

Ask God to use you today to encourage someone despite a present difficulty.
