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)
So yesterday began the annual NFL draft. Teams as well as athletes are anxious and excited as to who is drafted by whom and what that means to the team and the individual. Teams have seen film of past games and now they wonder if that will translate into a future NFL career. They are hoping that what has been seen will produce later . . . what we cannot see right now.
As believers, we sometimes get bogged down in what we see today. Like the NFL teams today, we all have needs. We have suffered losses. We have failed. After all, in the NFL there is only one winner every year! Yet with Christ, every believer has a bright future and we all are winners, despite our circumstances!
Drafting a college player in hopes he will work out is a gamble. Trusting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is a guarantee! Do not focus so much on today, but keep striving for tomorrow with Christ. The future is bright!🌅
