“So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, 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.” v.18 (NLT)
It’s easy to get caught up in worldly drama! But what about those issues that need serious attention, like illness, disease, death, emergencies? What are we supposed to do in these times, are we supposed to ignore them? NO! These things will happen because we live in a fallen sinful world, but when we experience them it’s important to keep our focus on the promises of God and not the earthy calamity!
I wish we could say that we will never experience hard times but we know that’s not the case. But when we do experience these hardships we can turn to Jesus for comfort, peace, and wisdom. Don’t let an earthly challenge discourage you and keep you from focusing on Heavenly promises. One day, all these things will end and we will experience His Eternal Kingdom where there is no more pain, drama, or calamity!
Today, stay focused on Jesus and don’t get caught up in the hype of a situation. Ask Him for wisdom, peace, and comfort!
