For our light affliction

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 kjv. "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." So many problems and troubles have risen among us in this world. Hunger,  hurt, killing, and death have become the usual things heard about on the news and seen on a daily basis. This has been going on for a long time, and nothing can stop this madness. We as believers can look to our Savior and continue to trust in Him, even if the troubles surround us on all sides. Paul took his eyes off the situation and pain that came upon him, and put his eyes on the Savior. Let this moment of affliction make you stronger in Christ. Your weakness brings out God's strength, and His Grace is sufficient.  This affliction is only for a moment, and cannot be compared to the Eternal Reward we have in Jesus Christ. Keep your eyes on the Everlasting God. Praise Him.
