Temporal Versus Eternal

"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 4:17-18

Whatever it is that we are going through now is 'light-weight' and will last but for a moment. "This too shall pass." However, going through it will benefit us in the end if we approach them in a Christian manner.

We should not be so concerned with the tangible worldly stuff that we can see. We ought to be concerned with the Godly things, being Christ-like, and following the teachings of the Holy Spirit which we cannot see but are much more important.

Focus on the things which have eternal implications and not on the transient temporary things.
