1 Peter 5:7 (NRSV) — 7 Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

2 Corinthians 4:17 (NRSV) — 17 For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us 

for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure,

2 Corinthians 4:17 (NLT) — 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!

2 Corinthians 4:17 (The Message) — 17 These hard times are small potatoes 

compared to the coming good times, 

he lavish celebration prepared for us.

Jesus reminds us in His Word ...

My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

We need to know the difference

between His light burden and our unnecessary excess baggage!
