"For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while 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." -II Corinthians 4:17-18 (NASB)
We sometimes get caught up in little problems or issues that prevent us from seeing the bigger picture. We may not be able to look beyond what we are experiencing in our own lives or our own organizations. When we are looking around, we need to take care to not focus on the here and now and miss the eternal consequences!
We experience different situations in our lives that are uncomfortable. These situations may challenge us or cause us to stop and learn different lessons. When we are faced with challenges, we should not lose sight of the bigger picture. We should each stop and ask ourselves, "What are you looking at?" We can then focus on God's Word and His plan for our lives. Even when we may not physically see God's plan and the rewards that await us, we can be reassured that He will always provide for us both here and now and for all of eternity!
Look at the "unseen" and know that God will provide forever!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and reminding me to always be searching for You and Your way for my life. Help me to trust and follow You, even if in things I cannot see. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
