For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Cor.4:17-18
Have you ever seen aerial photographs of the Earth? Large objects look tiny when viewed this way. In the same way, when we view the troubles of daily living from a heavenly perspective, our problems become " light and momentary" - smaller, and if not inconsequential, at least greatly reduced. I find that it is a great and real comfort to me. Imagine being in a storm in a small boat, but knowing that Jesus is right there with us- the One who has the ability to calm every storm. As Christians we can look forward with anticipation and confidence of this "eternal glory".
