KEEP FOCUSED ON THE UNSEEN FUTURE

“SO, WE DON’T LOOK AT THE TROUBLES WE CAN SEE NOW; WE FIX OUR GAZE ON THINGS THAT CANNOT BE SEEN. FOR THE THINGS WE SEE NOW WILL SOON BE GONE, BUT THE THINGS WE CANNOT SEE WILL LAST FOREVER.” 2 COR. 4:18

Keeping our focus on the correct things is vastly important in determining how we live our lives in this world. All we have to do is watch the news to see where the people of this world have focused their time and thoughts. The news will do nothing more than cause worry, concern and untimely ulcers. The focus of this world is on inflation, gas prices, immigration, war and all else that troubles our existing society. These are all very concerning and they all affect each and every one of us who live in the world today. We are watching our country spiral downward at a very fast pace. However, as followers of Jesus, we should be focused on other things. We should be focused on the unseen things of the world to come. We should stay engrained in God’s Word and his mighty promises for our lives. We should stay in prayer to our Lord God and always stay in his presence. We must not stray from our focus. Our Lord is in complete control. He has a plan that he has instituted and put into action. We must keep our thoughts and eyes on him and what he is doing. If we stay in his word and in prayer, he will give us the strength and courage we need to move forward in this world. It is when we take our eyes off of Jesus and put our focus on the world that we begin to worry and doubt. Keep the spiritual focus. Stay in communication with the Lord. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
