“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 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 4:16-18)
God’s plan and purpose is far greater than we can imagine. It is good to know that the daily struggles that I face as I strive to become more like Christ are achieving for me an eternal glory that will far outweigh them all. We often lose site of the treasure of God. He is eternal and so is the glory that he has bestowed upon us as we become His adopted children. We are co-heirs with Christ, not later but right now as we carry on his purpose. Eternity for me started the day I was saved setting my life on an alternate path that has already blown miles past anything I would have imagined for myself. God has done far greater than I could ever do. There is now no condemnation for me, and yet for those who do not know Christ they stand condemned already. Their condemnation began the day they were born. Oh how urgent it is that we proclaim the name of Christ, focusing on those things unseen, in order that some would be saved.
I pray that your focus today is not on those things seen, but those things that are unseen. The magnificent plan and purpose of God, one in which we cannot grasp until he completes it in us. Seek God and his kingdom today and above all else bring glory to the savior.
