Don't loose Heart
Notes
Transcript
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the 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.

9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
sometimes our bodies get tired.
But in Galatians 6:9 The Apostle Paul tells us not to grow weary in well doing.
this leads me to the conclusion that this growing weary is a matter of perspective.
perspective is a part of my mental capacity
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
we cast down these thoughts

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
in the world of finance we know this to be true its called savings.
in our emotional and spiritual life tough times are going to come. this is why we recommend regular bible reading, prayer, service, helping others.
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
times of trouble are going to come. what have you saved in your spirit for the tough times?
do you have a regular bible time? do you have a regular worship time? are you involved in a ministry in your local church?

18 while we do not look at the 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.

the things of God are eternal.
the glory of this world will fade away.
the things we do for God will last forever.
