Why We Are Not Discouraged

There is nothing, naturally speaking, that makes us lose heart quicker than decay — the decay of bodily beauty, of natural life, of friendship, of associations, all these things make a man lose heart; but Paul says when we are trusting in Jesus Christ these things do not find us discouraged, light comes through them.
-- Oswald Chambers, "Place of Help"

(16) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory...
-- 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (NKJV)

(16) That is why we are not discouraged. Though outwardly we are wearing out, inwardly we are renewed day by day. (17) Our suffering is light and temporary and is producing for us an eternal glory that is greater than anything we can imagine.
-- 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (GWT)

The Way Things Can Appear

It's 2:30 a.m. or so where I live and these thoughts I've heard and read are wondrously keeping me awake:

Lord, help me to trust in you and in what you are doing and can do and not be discouraged by the way things can appear.
-- Jessica, Bulgaria

For we walk by faith, not by sight...
