Jesus is our prime example of enduring suffering with the anticipation of joy. His focus on the joy ahead empowered Him to overcome the cross, and this same focus can empower us in our struggles.
Hebrews 10:34 - "You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions."
Reflection: What is one area in your life where you can shift your focus from present hardship to the joy that is set before you?
