We must live our lives in a context greater than the obvious.
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NKJV) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (18) 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.
We must look at the things that are invisible to mesh with God’s plan for our lives. Okay, Blondie, I’ll simplify. To live the will of God we have to live past the temporary. We must have eternity always on our minds to get the most out of life now.
This is faith: I see the outward physical me fading away; I see my spiritual innards being renewed day by day.
