Good Tuesday morning, my friends.
Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 4:17: "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." In the midst of distressing family news, illness, job loss, or the death of someone close to us it is almost impossible to see the circumstances as "light and momentary troubles". Yet that is what we will view it as from the perspective of eternity. If you find yourself today (or tomorrow - for we all will face these) in trying times, then pause and remember that a day is coming when "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (Revelation 21:4)
Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours,
Bruce
Father, we thank you for the absolute truthfulness of your Word.We rely on Your promises in Scripture concerning our future eternal home.Help us as we deal with what Your Word says are "our light and momentary troubles" and to recognize that they are "achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."Today "we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."Amen.
