We focus on eternal glory.

 
 
 
2 Corinthians 4:17 in the Modern Korean Version says: "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." We do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day (v. 16). Even though we may face trials in this world (John 16:33), we consider these troubles as light and momentary (2 Corinthians 4:17). The reason is that the troubles we endure now are incomparable to the glory that will be revealed in us (Romans 8:18). "Therefore, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen ones, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, along with eternal glory" (2 Timothy 2:10). We endure all hardships while focusing on the eternal glory.
