June 12 Just a Little While by Steve Hill For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. 2 Corinthians 4:17 Friend, consider these words of F. B. Meyer. May they bring you comfort in your time of adversity. There is a limitation to our suffering. It is only for a little while; but every moment has been fixed by the immutable purpose and love of God. The hour of darkness is timed with an exact measurement. You shall not suffer one moment more than is absolutely necessary for your perfecting of God’s glory; and for every moment there is an ample supply of grace. But remember also that in Christ, God has called you to His Eternal Glory. You heard that call years ago, and have been following it through days of evil and nights of pain. But the gifts and calling of God are without repentance, and He is waiting to fulfill his eternal purpose. What a banquet that will be when God will satisfy the expectations of those whom He has called to partake of it! Further, the suffering is being used in ways you little understand to perfect, establish and strengthen you. It is from sick chambers and torture rooms that God brings forth his veteran hosts in the day of battle. Think not so much of affliction as of the love of Christ, and the blessedness of being like Him and with Him for ever. I’ve heard it said that God will pull you through anything, if you can withstand the pull. Remember, He is the one doing the pulling! He is with you, He won’t forsake you. Deuteronomy 17; Psalms 104 Isaiah 44; Revelation 14
