Day By Day

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (New International Version, ©2011)

 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 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.

Being in the middle of the events in our lives, we sometimes do not get the whole picture. I have to admit that there were times when I asked God why He would let some things happen despite my obedience. Some had whispered that it was just a waste to remain sticking to the rules inasmuch as many perceived otherwise.

But then, troubles come to us to make us stronger emotionally and spiritually, because during these times that the non-physical muscles are flexed, stretched, and tested. Eternal Glory --- that is what we should always aim for.


Simply,
Dyes
