Today's Verse:
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18
Heavenly Father,
Are we aiming at the things which are seen - Μη σκοπουντων? 99.9% of us would say YES! Sad isn't it? Those things that can be seen are προσκαιρα, are actually temporary; they are to have a short duration, and must have an end. Take a man/woman for instance, perhaps one may caught by their handsome/beautiful look. But what's next? Our flesh only last for a number of years..., would our souls not worth much more?
Now, look at the things which we make our scope and aim are not seen and they are spiritual, they are αιωνΐα, eternal - things have no end. These things could be God's gifts, such as holiness, happiness, fruitfulness and blessings.
Father, help us not concentrate on the things that are seen - money, fame, beauty, food, etc., these are all earthly matters, which would disappeared one day. Father, Your grace for us is always sufficient, now or in times of trouble. Always!
Father, Christ was dead and is risen. The hope of this resurrection encourages us to let go of the fear of death, for the prospect of eternal life and happiness was our support and comfort.
Let us give diligence to ensure our future are joyful.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
