Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
Do you see what I see? Do you see Whom I see?
Yes, these are the lyrics from a CHRISTmas song, but even more! In a world full of death, disaster, illness, and other unexpected drama, it is easy to lose sight of our Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Almighty God. We see what is before us and get all caught up in it. Our life comes apart in pieces.
Yet God is always present. Nothing escapes Him. He sees all and knows all. He sees you and me and how we struggle to get through a day, a week, a year, a lifetime. We have to practice fixing our eyes upon the unseen but ever-present God!
