IT IS FOR A MOMENT
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them allâ€
II Corinthians 4:17, NIV
Main Text:
I so much admire how the verse above was said concerning our troubles; momentary meaning, a short time. Are you facing a difficulty or trial that seems like it’s been lasting a long time? Today’s verse tells us that our trials are really only momentary. Compared with eternity, our troubles don’t last long at all! As you stand strong in faith during times of adversity, you are building faith and achieving eternal glory. In life, we all have unfair things that happen to us. We can choose to hold on to the hurt, become bitter and angry, and let it poison our future; or, we can choose to let it go and trust God to make it up to us.” But realize, you let go for your own sake. When you forgive, you are taking away the power to hurt you. But if you hold on to that offense and stay angry, you are only poisoning your own life and disconnecting yourself from God.
If you are in the middle of tough times today, look to God. The Bible says that He is the Author and Finisher of your faith. He is the One who writes faith on your heart and then develops it to completion on the inside of you. He is building strength in you, He is depositing joy in you, and He is empowering you to make it through.
Today, be encouraged because what you are facing is only temporary. Victory is on the way, and it’s closer than you think! Keep standing, keep believing, keep hoping, and keep confessing His prevailing Word because He is faithful, and He will complete what He’s started in you!
Prayer: I decree my troubles will not overcome me in Jesus name.
