It is Written,“This is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 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.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

“This is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.” If I learned one thing about living in Christ, it is the knowledge of the flesh and Spirit. Though your Spirit will spend eternity somewhere, your flesh is destine to return to dust. So we find this truth about the Flesh, “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!”  We can not let our present troubles supersede the destiny we have in the Lord! “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen.” Believe in the Glory of Heaven. God has set for us a beautiful place where we shall spend the rest of eternity with him.

“For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.” This is the truth of the Lord that we hold on to. When we call upon the Lord, we as for the Spirit of Joy in every situation. God’s Word assures us that our troubles will not last always and that Joy will soon come. It is by the renewing of the spirit daily that produces this ever lasting hope within us. Don’t look at your situation today and say it is Lord of your life, but lean unto the promise that God has set before you. God is always here to remind us that his Grace is sufficient through every situation.
