The Expiration Date of Affliction

“For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.”

~ 2 Corinthanis 4:17, ESV

Note the word “momentary.” Affliction has an expiration date attached to it.

That said, there will be other afflictions that will appear in your life after the one you’re in right now passes.

But that too shall pass.

This is why there’s so much in Scripture about “enduring.”

Yet each affliction has an expiration. Thank God.
