Remember in hard times...

For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!
2 Corinthians 4:17, NLT


Our troubles should not diminish our faith or disillusion us. We should realize that there is a purpose in our suffering. Problems and human limitations have several benefits:

(1) they remind us of Christ's suffering for us;
(2) they keep us from pride;
(3) they cause us to look beyond this brief life;
(4) they prove our faith to others; and
(5) they give God the opportunity to demonstrate his power. See your troubles as opportunities!
