2 Corinthians 4:16-18 AMP ~ “Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. [17] For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! [18] So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.”
Nobody likes pain and suffering, but it’s a part of your life, we’ve all experienced our fair share but, Thanks be unto God, this too shall come to pass! God will sustain you and see you through it! Hold on to His unchanging Hands, He won’t let go, because nothing can separate you from the love of Christ, Romans 8:35!
As you deal with the afflictions that come your way, remember that God’s Grace is sufficient for you and you and whatever you face! Philippians 4:13, is a scripture for you to stand on as you walk it out! Just know this, you never have to face anything alone, you serve a Faithful God who has promised to be with you throughout every affliction and trial that you will ever endure!
God’s Grace is Sufficient for you, no matter what! Thank God for your weakness, that is when His strength in you is made perfect! The weaker you are the more His power shows evident in your life. If you need to boast, boast gladly in your weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions and calamities, that the power of Jesus Christ may rest upon you. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, l that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9!
Today, put one foot in front of the other and keep your focus on what is unseen and not what is seen, for all that is seen is temporary and all that is unseen is eternal and it will last forever! Remain, faithful to God and His Word and do not lose heart. Tell yourself every morning, noon and night the truth of the Word of God until you have received it and believe it in your heart, and this will give you confidence in knowing that you are cared for and have all the help you need as you endure, move and change from level to level for your good and His Glory!
Live by faith in God’s grace, knowing that He is here for you. Don’t run away from things that reveal and magnify the God on the inside of you. God will keep and sustain you, just remember, when you are weak, He is strong!
Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father, today help me to focus all of my attention on You, and that all of my desires align with Your purpose. Help me to not focus on my circumstances with fear but let my faith increase knowing that what I’m facing is a part of my journey, help me to accept it and see it as part of the ultimate plan for my life and to keep in my mind that all things have been weaved together for my good. Father, I love You and I Thank You for preparing me to handle these light afflictions for Your Glory. In Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
