So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.
2 Corinthians 4:18 (AMP)
Glory and honour be to God for this beautiful day, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Praise God for the eternal life we have in Christ Jesus. This life is precious beyond measure and must be handled with the importance it deserves. That is why we are called to focus our eyes on the eternal things.
Apostle Paul charges us not to fix our eyes on what we see around us, for those things are temporary , cars, houses, clothes, and every material possession are fleeting and brief, with no eternal value. They are good and necessary, but they should never become our ultimate pursuit.
Instead, we must focus on the unseen , the spiritual things of eternal value. The invisible realities of God’s kingdom are everlasting and imperishable. This is the faith we express in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: believing in our hearts and confessing with our mouths that Jesus Christ alone is Lord , now and forevermore.
Most High God, our trust is in You. May our eyes remain focused on You and on the great promises in Your Word. Help us to choose the spiritual, unseen, everlasting, and imperishable things. May we abide in them and receive Your reward of eternal life in Christ Jesus. Amen.
