"So we do not look at what we can see right now, the troubles all around us,

but we look forward to the joys in heaven which we have not yet seen.

The troubles will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever."

~ 2 Corinthians 4:11 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Our troubles should not diminish our faith or disillusion us. Instead, we should realize that there is a purpose in our suffering. Problems and human limitations have several benefits:

1) they help us remember Christ's suffering for us;

2) they help keep us from pride;

3) they help us look beyond this brief life;

4) they prove our faith to others;

5) they give God the opportunity to demonstrate his great power.

"Don't resent your troubles----see them as opportunities."
