TROUBLES

2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our present troubles are quite
small and won't last very long.
Yet they produce for us an immeasurably
great glory that will last forever!
So we don't look at the troubles
we can see right now; rather, we look
forward to what we have not yet seen.
For the troubles we see will soon be over,
but the joys to come will last forever.



Throughout life, it's guaranteed that we will have problems and turbulent times, but according to the Word of God those moments will be short-lived happenings that are for our benefit and growth. You just have to look at life through the spiritual eyes given to us by our spiritual Father. Jesus taught us in John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Our biggest enemy has already been overcome and defeated. Jesus is already victorious and we are on His side. Have you ever felt completely overcome while dealing with problems and trials? Take heart, Jesus has overcome and He's on your side.
