"For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."
All the trials we face here on earth are described as "light"; whereas the glory that awaits us in Heaven is described as "heavy". What an awesome concept to ponder. Someone once described our momentary trials as "a storm in a teacup". In comparision with what is to come, they are just that insignificant. Wow.
That is so true, Heidi. I am thankful you were encouraged.
ReplyDeleteI have that verse underlined in my Bible and next to it I have "school" written. It must have been a rough week. :)
