We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 NLT
Fresh perspective is life changing. When we change the way we look at our lives, it changes the way we show up in this world. As God’s children, we know that life is fleeting and our purpose is powerful. We know that we will face challenges but it is all for God’s glory. Today, we’re asking God to shift our perspective off of the temporary and towards eternity.
Reflect – When you encounter troubles, what perspective do you default towards(temporary afflictions or God’s eternal will)? In your own words, Pray that God shifts your perspective on what really matters in the light of eternity…
