‘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.’
II Corinthians 4:18
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
I shouldn’t.
Focus.
On.
What.
I see.
And.
Place.
All.
Of.
My.
Trust.
In.
Him!
This morning.
Pastor Cochran.
Delivered.
A good.
Word!
That.
Lifted.
My spirit!
The.
Word.
He.
Delivered.
Focused.
On.
Not.
Be deceived.
By.
What.
We.
See.
And.
Not.
Letting.
Temporary.
Storms.
Get.
Us.
Down.
Like.
They.
Are.
Permanent!
I learned.
That.
We.
Can’t.
Avoid.
Trouble.
Or.
Adversity.
In.
Our.
Lives.
However.
We.
Must.
Change.
How.
We see.
Them.
Paul.
Tells.
Us.
That.
We.
Will.
Face.
Light.
Afflictions.
But.
They.
Are.
Temporary.
And.
Meant.
To.
Help.
Us.
Grow.
In.
Our.
Faith!
‘For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, ‘
II Corinthians 4:17
Next.
I learned.
That.
Life.
Is.
Temporary.
Therefore.
We.
Must.
Live.
With.
Purpose.
Because.
We.
Have.
Work.
To do.
For.
The Lord!
God.
Wants.
Us.
To.
Receive.
Everything.
He.
Has.
For us.
But.
We can’t.
Do so.
Focusing.
On.
What.
We see.
All.
The time!
‘The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.’
John 10:10
Lastly.
I learned.
God.
Is.
Permanent!
‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ‘
Hebrews 13:8
Meaning.
God.
Doesn’t.
Change!
Ultimately.
Everything.
Around.
Us.
Will.
Change.
Expect.
The Lord!
Look.
I pray.
That you.
Don’t.
Give up.
And.
Think.
Your.
Situation.
Won’t.
Change!
First.
You must.
Look.
At it.
From.
The.
Perspective.
Paul.
Gave us.
And.
Know.
It’s.
Temporary.
And.
Meant.
To.
Make.
You.
Better!
Second.
You must.
Know.
God.
Can.
Change.
Your.
Situation.
If.
You.
Place.
All.
Of.
Your.
Trust.
In.
Him!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
