In Isaiah 48: 10 says Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction. This tells us that God uses all afflictions to refine us. The troubles become light if you look unto God to see you through them.
They are light when you live in the discovery that no matter what you are going through, God loves you. If you also stop for a moment and compare what you are going through with what Jesus Christ went through on your behalf, then the troubles are really little.
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.O my brothers, when you are in various kinds of trials, consider it a matter of complete joy,
James 1:2 The word of God teaches us that even if we want to give up and if we want to face our problems and overcome them, every adversity in our life makes us strong from within, we are stable even in unstable situations. Staying and listening to the voice of the Lord and this is what the Lord Jesus has shown us on the cross of Calvary
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2Corinthians 4:17-18
Prayer
Father, help us Lord to keep our eyes focused on what will happen in the hereafter. Let the thoughts of eternal glory drive us through every situation that confronts us
In Jesus name…
Amen!
