1 Corinthians 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us
an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
The season is among us whether we are ready or not. Whether we are in the holiday spirit or not. It seems we need to be joyful yet what about our troubles or feelings? It seems we just put all our troubles in the backseat as we feel the need to be joyful during these next few weeks and all comes to the forefront when we make our New Year's resolution to do better and pray our troubles go away in the new year...
It’s refreshing to know that those moments that seem forever and things will never get better are only momentary troubles and building us up to be prepared for an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Please do not put these troubles in the backseat to pretend your joyful for the season. It is an awesome thing to bring those troubles and give them to God. Then… sit back, reflect and soak in the joys that surround you as you mentally prepare for the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
