If you profess to believing in Jesus and have been for any length of time, you no doubt know the term “light and momentary troubles”. Maybe you even felt shamed or bullied by someone using 2 Corinthians 4:17 – the Bible verse containing this phrase.
It feels more and more difficult to me every day. But 2 Corinthians 4:17 is meant to be an encouragement for us to keep persevering. Over on Medium, I explore how. Join me in reading:
Light and Momentary Troubles: What They Have in Common With Sprinklers
And now for this week’s featured post from the link up.
Anxiety accompanies me more often than I wish she would the last couple of years, so I drank in Jennifer Ross’ post like a woman in a desert this week. Read The Art of Quietness and see if it speaks loudly to you too!

My pleasure, Jennifer. I hope you have a good weekend!
Lauren, hi! I’m always amazed at how hard and fast those trials can come … and how we can often look back years later and see His purposes and timing were exquisite.
Amen. He is so good.
Lauren, such a blessed post. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.

Thank you, Paula. Hope you are doing well.
Loved your analogy from light and momentary troubles seeming like sprinklers. I’ve been surprised-drowned a time or too myself. Yet it’s true eternity will make it seem like a blink.Thank God when we cry out to Him, He helps us hang on.
OH, drowning! You just made the analogy better! Thank you, Jerralea.
I’m not religious, but when I read “Light and momentary troubles,” I interpreted as a reminder that in the big scheme of things most problems are not that significant. It’s a way to help someone get unstuck from the mental mire in which she may find herself. I didn’t take it as a way to admonish someone.
