while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
So often, we get caught up in what only we see with our eyes and are consumed by the tangible, immediate, and things we can touch and feel.
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
Paul reminds us to shift our focus, urges us to change our perspective, and encourages us to see beyond the surface by encouraging us to look at the unseen, eternal things that truly matter.
Think about it for a moment. The struggles we face, the challenges we encounter, the pain we endure, they are all part of this temporary existence.
They are like passing shadows, fleeting moments in eternity. But beyond what we can see with our eyes lies something far greater, far more enduring.
When we focus on the unseen, we begin to understand the hand of God at work in our lives.
We start to recognize His faithfulness, love, and provision even in the middle of challenges and realize that there is a purpose behind each challenge, setback, and moment of uncertainty.
As we cultivate this perspective, our hearts are filled with hope, and we are reminded that this world is not our final destination and that there is a glorious future awaiting us beyond the confines of time and space.
Our faith is strengthened, our resolve is deepened, and we press on with renewed vigor, knowing we have a future with God forever.
Today, challenge yourself to see with spiritual eyes, to look beyond the visible, and to focus on the eternal.
Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith, and trust that He is working all things together for our good.
As you do, you will be filled with awe and wonder at the beauty of the eternal plan of God unfolding before you.
Heavenly Father, I purpose to set and fix my eyes on Jesus, as He is the author and perfecter of my faith. I know You are working all things together for my good. I will keep Your Words of life before my eyes so they will be first place in my heart, knowing that all things will then work together for my good. This is all according to Your will and purpose. Thank You, Father. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Fix Your Eyes On Jesus, The Author, And Perfecter Of Our Faith, And Trust That He Is Working All Things Together For Our Good.
