Here is a verse I love. 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." Often times what is unseen in our world are the things of God, and God Himself. It is sometimes hard to see Him and His ways and His plan amidst so much happening in our world. The verse encourages us to fix our eyes (to fix our thoughts, our vision, our future, and what we see happening in our life) on the unseen things...the things of God. Because those things last for ever. The things of this world that we get caught up in don't last forever, they are temporary. Money, possessions, selfishness, fulfilling greedy desires, and things of that nature will pass away. They don't satisfy and don't bring us long term joy.
So what are your eyes fixed on?
