Even in Affliction

In 2Corinthians 4:17, Paul talks about our light affliction but what is so interesting about this affliction is that it is only for a moment. YOu know to us our problems and trials sometimes seem to last a considerable time before God answers us but in His sight it is just a moment and it should be like this for us too especially when it is compared to the eternal glory that awaits us if we just trust in God's love and hold on to him.  When you look at it that way you can see why Paul was able to say that his affliction though light was but for a moment. What a way for God to use a man's affliction to encourage and uplift us in our own time of need. This has become one of my favourite texts. Read it up and see if it doesn't encourage you too.
