Today's Scripture
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (2 Corinthians 4:17 NIV)
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Troubles and trials are only temporary! In fact, this verse tells us they are momentary. Compared with eternity, our troubles wont last long at all! When you stand strong in faith during the difficult times, you are building faith in your life and also achieving eternal glory.
If you are in the middle of tough times today, look to God. The Bible says that He is the Author and Finisher of your faith. He is the one who writes faith on your heart and then develops it to completion on the inside of you. Your part is to open your heart and choose those words of faith and victory. Remember, your words set the course for your life. As you remind yourself that your troubles are only momentary and declare your trust and hope in God, you will see His hand moving in your life. It wont be long until youre past those momentary troubles and experiencing His eternal glory!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your eternal glory at work in me. I cast my cares on You, knowing that my trials and troubles are temporary. Thank You for Your eternal blessing on every area of my life in Jesus name! Amen.
