For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
–II Cor.4:17-18
If we could see through God’s eyes, through the lens of eternity, we would know that no matter how heavy or grievous our affliction is to us now, it is light because we bear it but for a moment!
And then God piles on another promise – the light affliction we are bearing only for a moment of time is working for us a far more exceeding glory in eternity.
The fullness of this truth only dawns on us when we concentrate not on the things which are seen and are temporal, but focus our minds on the things which are not seen, which are eternal.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
