Temporary

"For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond
all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 
2 Corinthians 4:17-18

momentary..........

light affliction..........

produces...............

something beyond the temporary..........entering a better realm........beyond this moment of time....... a better world.........a world of Glory!!!!

We enter this new world with a mantle..........a weight of glory...........

a weight of glory that is produced in times, seasons, and moments of suffering.

Not sure where you are right now on your journey, but I know that it is temporary. There is a new season around the bend and as you walk through the season you are in now there is a beauty being created upon you that testifies of His grace.

"we are a moment, You are eternal......." the chorus rings in my heart.

My meditation the last few days has come from Colossians........."set your mind on things above"

so I have been purposefully setting my mind up........

reaching, stretching, determined, knowing that I'm called to a higher plane of thinking.

On tiptoe now........reaching..........knowing that what I see in front of me in the natural is momentary......but just beyond this stretch is the eternal.......

Struggling to see this "momentary" as a "light affliction", but thanking Him that it is temporary.

Reaching for that higher plane tonight my friend...it seems a long reach for a weary hand.

Love ya,
Joy
