2 Corinthians 4:
17
17 For our light affliction, which
is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory...
Someone from
our church yesterday sent me a note, about why bad things only seem to happen to
good people.
And yet
before I delve into that, what truly determines a good person?
The Bible
says in Ecclesiastes 7: 20... 20 Surely there
is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never
sins.
So I guess
the Bible says that none of us are really good after all.
Maybe the
affliction we have to go through on earth, isn’t that big a deal after
all?
I’m not
saying it’s fun to go through the low times, but maybe those low times happen
for a very good reason.
I wonder how
many people are in Heaven today, who are eternally grateful for
cancer?
I wonder how
many people who are Heaven today, are grateful for the time they were
incarcerated?
The things
we experience on earth are only for a brief moment.
The effect
of the weighty earthly moment though, is working out for us something
exceedingly better.
When
something bad happens, why don’t we see any good in it?
Is it
possible that God is trying to teach us something better, through a bad
situation?
Maybe we
should actually do what the Apostle Paul told us to consider?
Colossians 3: 2... Set your minds on things that are above, not on things
that are on earth.
