2 Corinthians 4:14
Compare all
12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
13 And since we have athe same spirit of faith, according to what is written, b“I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,  
14 knowing that aHe who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.  
15 For aall things are for your sakes, that bgrace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.  

Seeing the Invisible

16 Therefore we ado not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is bbeing renewed day by day.  
17 For aour light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  
18 awhile 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.

II Corinthians 4:14-18

When this happens, we must - despite how difficult things may seem - hold on to God and His way of life, not letting go even unto death. Despite his many hardships, the apostle Paul relied on God and did not let himself get depressed for very long, if at all. Now look at what he told the Corinthians.

Now flip over to Philippians 4, verse 10. Paul had many reasons to get discouraged. His letters and the book of Acts record many of his unpleasant predicaments, yet he did not let adverse circumstances depress him. After five shipwrecks, he did not let it get to him. I am still bewildered at that one.
