You have to be honest, doesn’t Paul sound just a little bit
crazy. For in 2 Corinthians 4:17 he
says, “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal
weight of glory beyond all comparison.”
And that while he is suffering in prison. Not the type of prison with a TV and commode.
No, a hell hole dark, stinky, sewer
filled dungeon with virtually no food or supplies.
I thought about that today as I bleated once again about
sitting in traffic on my way home from work.
How bad is our perspective when we complain about the small stuff. Sometimes in life we just have to toughen up,
suck it up and get on with the job.
Becoming strong in God, sometimes means we have to strengthen our mental
resolve, not to let little things derail us.
Then again, if you are going through a “real momentary light
affliction”, don’t forget the words of the Apostle…….these afflictions are
preparing us for eternal glory!
