For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
Paul calls our earthly troubles light, momentary afflictions compared to the glory we are to receive. When I go through trying times, it helps to remind myself that they will pass. “This cannot last forever” is what I tell myself. I think of other things that I thought I would not survive, yet I did. The devil whispers in our ear that certain things will last forever, but they won’t.
Christ is your strength, and no matter how bad your current situation may look, God loves you and has already planned your escape to a safe landing place. In addition, you will learn something from your trial that will help you later in life. Keep your eyes on the prize of heaven and the glory that awaits you there.
When we go through hard situations, they make us able to endure the next tough time with more ease. Each time we experience God’s deliverance, it is easier to know that it will also be there the next time we need it. Enter God’s rest today. Your breakthrough is coming!
Prayer of the Day: Father God, thank You for helping me through all the difficult times I have ever faced, am facing, and will face in the future. I know that You will be with me through everything. Thank You, amen.
