"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all" (2 Corinthians 4:17, NIV).
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.
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 Word because He is faithful, and He will
complete what He’s started in you!
Heavenly Father, thank You for working Your eternal glory in me. I cast my cares on You today, knowing that my trials and troubles are temporary. Thank You for Your eternal blessing on my life today and for leading me into victory. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
