“For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.” (2 Corinthians 4:17, NASB)
All spiritual matters are to be believed through the eyes of faith. Unlike the saints of the Old Testament, who often walked with God through visible experiences, we now walk by believing what we do not see. Yes, “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7, NASB)
It is our faith in God that enables us to accept Him and live for Him. For the Scripture says, “Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1, NASB)
Thus, as today’s meditation verse declares, for those who fix their eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen, our momentary and light affliction is working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
We have not seen heaven. We have not seen eternal life. Yet we believe in them because the Word of God affirms them, and the saints who lived before us bore witness to these truths. This—believing what we do not see and living accordingly—is the life of faith.
When we walk the life of faith, we inevitably face afflictions, challenges, and sufferings. But today’s verse reminds us that all these troubles are temporary—they will pass away soon. Moreover, Scripture does not merely call them “afflictions,” but “light afflictions.”
The sufferings we endure in this world are insignificant when compared to the glory that awaits us. They cannot even be measured against the coming glory. That is why Apostle Paul says, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”(Romans 8:18, NASB)
Yes, “the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18, NASB)
Therefore, it is essential that we continue our spiritual race with this mindset. The afflictions, problems, and difficulties we see in this world should not shake our faith-walk. When troubles persist, let us comfort ourselves saying:
“This momentary, light affliction will pass soon.”
“The sufferings I experience now cannot be compared to the glory that is about to be revealed to me.”
This is how Apostle Paul pressed on through his life’s battles and emerged victorious. The same truth is given to us as counsel in today’s meditation verse. Dear beloved, since our focus is not on what is seen but on what is unseen, our afflictions remain light and momentary. Therefore, let us continue our spiritual journey with steadfast faith.
