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.
What a great verse to meditate on this morning! It reminds me to invest in the eternal, to prioritize God and people over earthly pleasure and possessions. This truth assures me that whatever trials I face today can produce eternal reward if I allow God to shape my inmost being. I asked God to show me how this truth could impact my life practically today:
In relational conflict I can choose to focus on the other person's character, heart, or intentions instead of dwelling on hurtful things done or said to me. I can offer grace.
When disciplining my children I can take the time to address their hearts as well as correcting their outward behavior.
I can ask God to help me do the right thing, and to give me godly motivation.
Throughout the day I can purpose to see the invisible God manifested through what He has created- the people in my life, the beauty of sunshine peeking through clouds, the glimpses His glory that escape through this fallen world.
Today I am going to look for what I cannot see, and I will find God at work all around me.
