it's all rubbish

I've been bombarded with scripture the past 48 hours that speak to how fleeting our moments and circumstances here on this earth are. While I know many of the circumstances and especially the people in my life deserve my attention, my time, my concern and sometimes lots of effort - they are not what counts most in the end. What counts most is HIS GLORY.
The tough stuff is still tough but hope grows when I remember that His Kingdom is so much bigger than today's troubles.
Romans 8:18 has been floating around in my brain since someone shared it Wednesday night. It says:

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

Today - Pastor Dan's "Calvary Update" started off with a passage that offers similar encouragement. He shared:

"In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul writes,
'Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day, for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.' "

I am hopeful! Filled with hope! Fixing my eyes!
Learning to trust Him more!
