Temporary Trials – Eternal Encouragement

Having an eternal mindset helps us cope with temporary setbacks. In the light of eternity all challenges are temporary. Whatever we’re going through we’re going through so it won’t last forever but we will so we’ve already won we just might not know it yet. If we can see it then it’s subject to change but God remains the same and our hope is in Him. He has a plan and at times we don’t understand but our destiny He commands and our allegiance He demands. Looking at and listening to the tick-tock of the clock amplifies agony but encouragement arrives when we get our eyes on eternity.

2 Cor 4:16-18
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
NKJV

Rom 8:18-19
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
NKJV
