“For all things are for your sakes,
that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the
glory of God… For our light afflictions, which is but for a moment, worketh for
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” (2 Corinthians 4:15
&17)
In other words, everything that God
does is for us that we might through the giving of thanks of many redound or
accrue an abundant of grace because of his glory and greatness. As we give
thanks we gain glory or graciousness and humility which makes us more fit for
the celestial kingdom which helps us overcome our afflictions.
Paul says here our light afflictions, but I think
he means that any affliction we might have is light in comparison to those of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This lifetime is but a moment and then we are
received into glory.
So give thanks, be positive, and see
the good in all things, including our afflictions, and we will be made
glorious.
