Bible Verse of The Day – 3-27-24

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NKJV) 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 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.

As we each face various trials or seasons of abrupt, unexpected change, our thoughts can run away with visions of impending disaster.

As the enemy attacks our minds, we will frequently envision the very worst scenarios.

But as we allow God to bring truth and His light into our situations, we will begin to see and understand that the things we fret over are truly only temporal. They are of this world.

We need to allow God to teach us how to keep our minds on the things unseen; the things above.

You see, if we spend our time and energy focused on the things of earth, we can lose sight of the things of God; the things unseen.

The things of this earth carry no weight regarding eternity. They will quickly fade away.

But as we turn our eyes to what is unseen, we will begin to recognize God’s sovereignty and understand that those things with eternal ramifications are what is most important.

Time spent fretting over earthy things is time wasted.

Knowing that, it is important for us to fix our gaze squarely on God and allow Him to be glorified in everything about our lives, including the times and seasons of trials.

All these things are working to build our faith, strengthen our character, and teach us perseverance as we learn to trust in God.

Let us focus not on the things of this earth, but on the things unseen. For those things bear eternal weight of glory.

Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
