“For our light affliction which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight in glory.”

Let us thank God this morning for grace which abounds, because we are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed, we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed; Why? All because of God’s grace which abounds, his mercies which are new every morning, his love which surrounds us like a shield. Therefore, scripture reminds us not to lose heart as we go through our various trials, for even though the outward man is perishing, the inward man is being renewed every day, and that all things are for our sakes, that grace, having spread through many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. Oh, what a mighty God we serve! Praise Him!
