The light afflictions in today\u2019s text are the things that affect the outward man; the things that the outward man interacts with and changes him. The word \u201cworketh\u201d is from the Greek word \u201cenergeia\u201d which means \u201cworking like the engine to produce a result\u201d. It can be likened to starting the engine of a car. There is something inside the car that rolls and generates power to move the car. <\/p>\n<p>The scripture in 2 Corinthians 4:17 refers to our light afflictions, not our light enjoyment.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you are looking for sweet and soft things in life, you\u2019ll never become anything tangible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Every muscular man didn\u2019t build muscles by sleeping.
