” THOUGH OUR BODIES ARE DYING, OUR SPIRITS ARE BEING RENEWED EVERY DAY. FOR OUR PRESENT TROUBLES ARE SMALL AND WONT LAST VERY LONG.” 2 COR. 4:16-17
” SO, WE DON’T LOOK AT THE TROUBLES WE CAN SEE NOW, RATHER WE FIX OUR GAZE ON THINGS THAT CANNOT BE SEEN.” 2 COR. 4:18
We all have troubles and problems in our lives. Whether they be physical, mental, financial or spiritual in nature we all must confront daily problems. If we spend all of our time and efforts focusing on how we are going to overcome those problems, we will waste our days and most likely accomplish nothing in the long haul. Whether we live a short life here on this earth or whether we live to be 100 years old our days are numbered, and our lives are relatively short in this world when we compare it to God’s great plan. As we get older our bodies begin to fail and things begin to go wrong. But we can be comforted to remember that we are spiritual beings and that our spirits are being renewed each day. The troubles we have in this world are nothing when it comes to God’s plan of eternal life for those who believe. So, it is important that we pray and leave the details to our God in heaven. You and I should use our time to focus on our future, on the things of our Lord that are unseen. We need to continue to build upon our faith. We need to be reading his word each day. We need to be praying each day. And we need to be giving glory to our God each day. We need to be renewing our spirit man by understanding that our Lord is with us and never leaves us no matter the situation you and I are going through. We need to focus on our future life, performing work that create results that are pleasing to our God in heaven. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
