Bible REading:2 Corinthians 4:16-18

16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.

17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!

18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

Devotional:

As we conclude our week, we reflect on the concept of carrying a different kind of weight - the weight of glory. As we have laid down our earthly burdens, we are now called to take up the mantle of God's work, shining in His glory. Today, seek ways to serve and engage in the 'family business' of spreading the gospel. Look for divine appointments and be ready to step into the roles God has prepared for you.

Reflection Question:

What does it mean to you to carry the weight of God's glory, and how can you live this out in your daily life to impact your community and beyond?
