God does not take us out of our circumstances; He will not do that till Christ comes, or till we go to be with Him. But He furnishes us with power to go through them, and to be "more than conquerors" (Rom. 8:37³⁷Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (Romans 8:37)). He imparts life, and the Holy Spirit as the energetic power to carry us through everything, to detach us from earth by setting the glory before us, and putting in our hearts "the hope of glory."

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen." 2 Cor. 4:17, 18¹⁷For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; ¹⁸While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:17‑18).
