Light weights produce heavy results - 2 Corinthians 4-5

I am not a weight lifter. In fact, I try to avoid lifting anything, including my butt out of a chair. But, God let's us know in this passage that we are all enduring the weight of the world and how we respond to that weight lifting will produce some great results. In 4:17 we read, "For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison." For me to try to compare this to something would be useless, obviously. God knows we are going through "afflictions." However, through Paul's words God calls them "light." We must look at the troubles of this world via God's eyes. As we endure them they are producing something for Glory that will far outweigh what we see with our eyes. God is using these things in our lives to chip away and to chisel our lives in a way that will glorify Him. We should rejoice in our light afflictions. They produce eternal muscle that gives Glory to God. Do some weight lifting today. It will produce some results later you don't even notice today. Eternal results.
