Have you ever had a bad headache or back pain? Have you ever taken a pain pill, such as Advil, Execedrin or Ibuprofen? If you look at the directions they all state ‘to give you temporary relief’.
This means the pain may leave, but it may come back. Your relief is not permanent.
God wants to remind this trying times your in is only temporary – God has the solution to not relieve the pain, but Remove the source of pain.
We have this confidence that we are more than conquers in all things.
The children of Israel wondered in the wilderness. Through miraculous events God provided for them. They were on there way to the promise land, yet experience temporary sufferings. God rained down manna and quail to feed them. He provided water from a rock to ease their thirst. Don’t give up. You will see your promised land very soon.
It is not permanent only temporary.
“And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble.” 2 Cor. 4:17
