"Recessionary Times"

I know a lot of people don't believe what I believe, but let me just remind you that almost every cliche, every saying and every theme or motif you've ever heard or seen has a Biblical basis.

I ran across II Corinthians 4:17 while in church on Sunday and the verse really struck me as an answer to the tough times many people are going through right now. It says, "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"

What does that sound like to you? It sounds like, "Trouble don't last always"...."Everything happens for a reason"....or "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

I know we all have problems and issues we don't understand, but in reality, it's a "light" affliction that has a definite ending and serves a lasting purpose for you.

I'm not anybody's preacher...I just got my own understanding of this as it seems my own light affliction is finally passing. :O)
