Father, thank you for the glorious promise of eternity. By faith, I want to keep my eyes focused on the eternal things. If I have come into trouble or suffering, I will not focus on that, but keep my eyes on Jesus leading me into eternal life. I can already experience that by knowing you (John 17: 3). Thank you that my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Amen!
