SANCTIFIED AFFLICTIONS ARE SPIRITUAL PROMOTIONS

Light affliction equals an eternal weight of glory in God's economy. Or in the words of Matthew Henry, "Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces. Sanctified afflictions are spiritual promotions." "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory..." (2 Corinthians 4:17).
