Even Though On The Outside It Often Looks Like Things Are Falling Apart On Us,

On The Inside, Where God Is Making New Life,

Not A Day Goes By Without His Unfolding Grace.

Scripture

2 Corinthians 4



¹⁶ That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our inner strength in the Lord is growing every day.

16-18 So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. 

These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever. Message

Observation

If you are going through a rough time right now then this chapter is for you.  I love verse 16 and even though I have never experienced any of the hardship that the Apostle Paul experienced I do understand that my body is dying. Just in case you haven’t ever thought of it so is yours!

I love this entire chapter! Take time to read it today and it will encourage you to never give up!

7 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

Application

I will never give up. How about you? 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I will never give up. Though my body is dying, my spirit is being renewed every day. For my present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for me a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So I don’t look at the troubles I can see now; rather, I fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things I see now will soon be gone, but the things I cannot see will last forever.
