PROMISE FOR AUGUST 5TH

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." 2 Cor. 4:17

While an exceeding and eternal weight of glory is to be the inheritance of all of the elect body of Christ who are now laying up treasure in Heaven, the Apostle clearly intimates here that that treasure may be augmented by special zeal and faithfulness under the peculiar trials of the present time. R1821,c1,p3

When we remember that the closer we come to Him in the present trials and experiences and sufferings...the closer we will be to Him in the future, it explains to us the meaning of the Apostle's words when speaking of his severe trials--(in our text above). R3362,c2,p5
