One definition of affliction: being under pressure.

Whatever, or however, we are being afflicted today – that affliction is producing a results in our lives.

Followers of Christ – God sees our affliction from His vantage point of eternity.  We cannot.  It is impossible to even imagine.  However, we can trust Him to see what is for our best.

Read the following verse carefully.
(Amplified Bible) 2 Corinthians 4:17 “For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!]”

What can we say to that?!!!!  Wow!  Hallelujah!  Thank You Lord!

The things we are facing this day are to be seen from God’s viewpoint of eternity.

We cannot begin to imagine what is waiting for all followers of Christ in eternity.  But this we do know – God Himself tells us:

(NASB) 2 Corinthians 4:17 “For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.”

Jesus said…
(NASB) John 14:2-3 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 ‘If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”

What Glory That Will Be!!!
