"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Cor 4:17-18 KJV) It is comforting to know that troubles won't last always. With a change of perspective we discover, things are never as bad as we perceive them to be. There is purpose in our pain and strength in our struggles. Temporary pain and troubles will end, but eternity will last forever!
PRAYER: Lord, you are the God of eternity who bids us come. We accept your invitation and thereby have the needed patience to endure our temporary struggles. Amen!
Rom 8:18-20. . . . Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. For all creation is waiting patiently and hopefully for that future day when God will resurrect his children. TLB
