We must live beyond the context of the obvious: what we see, hear, feel and experience in other ways.
The obvious is life before us, making a living, caring for our families, trying to have a life.
And the obvious overwhelms us, overruns us and overpowers us. That’s what life is good at sometimes, wearing us out with the daily, making us forget the forever. Drawing our complete attention to what is before us, causing us to forget what is beyond us.
So we only see what is seen. Our ability to look past Earth dims.
So we need to take heart and let God’s words give us perspective, speak to our hearts reality because reality is far greater than just our current circumstances and the obvious nature of the everyday.
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18 GW) That is why we are not discouraged. Though outwardly we are wearing out, inwardly we are renewed day by day. (17) Our suffering is light and temporary and is producing for us an eternal glory that is greater than anything we can imagine. (18) We don’t look for things that can be seen but for things that can’t be seen. Things that can be seen are only temporary. But things that can’t be seen last forever.
So by faith we walk and continue our fight to see not just today but forever.
