1 Chronicles 28:1-21; Ezekiel 24:1-25:17; John 9:1-17
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. 2 Cor. 4:17
Those things which weigh on us and seem so heavy and hard to bear now will seem “light” in view of our “eternal weight of glory.” Thank God for His eternal perspective on things! When we focus on eternity, our burdens lighten. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:28, 30). —E. C. B.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace. —Helen H. Lemmel
