What do you fix your eyes upon?


2 Corinthians 4: 18
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.
Don’t we get this exactly the opposite?
We fix our eyes on the stuff and the experiences of this world, but the things of God….not so much.
If we could see into the eternal abyss, what we’d see would blow our minds.
It’s because our faith is weak, and so we focus on the things we can see, touch, smell and enjoy.
What a waste!
What we do for the great Kingdom of God is what counts.
We cannot see our eternal rewards, and yet we know that they are there.
We don’t even realize how our service and sacrifice will impact God’s people, but one day we will see our fruits for what they are.
The things of this world are so temporary—the thing of God’s Kingdom are not.
Maybe we should switch our focus to the things we cannot see?
The unseen things of God, will come into focus one day.
I’m willing to bet we’re going to look pretty foolish, for the temporary things that got our attention………..
