How do you feel when you hear or read the phrase “For our light and momentary troubles…”? Do you feel like your struggles are light or temporary? Think about a time when you felt hopeless but God came through.
Not only do we have eternal hope and know that even when this world ends and our bodies die, we will be with Jesus, but even as our bodies get old and the world seems to be falling apart, God is making all things new. The things that are eternal are beyond what this world sees. Jesus came into a world filled with darkness and death, and despair and turned things upside down. It really is all about perspective and choosing to see things from God’s point of view. Choosing to trust Him instead of giving in to the doubt that He is even aware of all that you are facing.
