Just Thinking
I have been thinking about some things. Seems like my life hasn't been going as I thought it should. I am still encouraged though. Pastor preached an excellent message yesterday. It was a blessing to me.The Sermon:
Title: These Light Afflictions
Scripture: 2 Cor. 4:13-18
13: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14: Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15: For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17: For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18: 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.
Notes That Blessed Me:
- Even though things look bad and grim, just hold on because you know in your spirit that God is working things out.
- Just remember, when you think your world is as bad as it can be, someone else is worse off than you.
- The things on earth won’t last long. Only what you do for Christ will last.
- God is always with you and He won’t forsake you as long as you do His Word and His will.
Hope these quick notes blessed you.
