Do you feel like you get discouraged easily? It seems if we focus on the world and the news we hear everyday we can get down and out easily. Our circumstances can weigh us down on the outside but on the inside we can renew our faith everyday. The eternal reward of glory keeps our eyes focused on the Lord and that these troubles are just for a time.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
