Light for the Journey
“RENEWAL”
2 Corinthians 4:16-18:
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (NKJV)
This passage reminds us of the hope and renewal found in God, even amidst physical suffering. It focuses our hearts on the eternal promise of glory with Him rather than being fixated on the physical challenges of the flesh. It reassures us that our suffering is not meaningless but is part of a greater story God is crafting for eternity.
