“For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you.”

Isaiah 54:7

Our daily problems and issues can seem like an eternity as we are going through them. But in God’s economy they are nothing but a mere moment, a drop in the bucket of time.

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
