Fixing Our Eyes on the Unseen!!
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outw 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delightseighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Because we live in a physical world, we see with physical eyes and we are tempted to close our spiritual eyes to the reality of God's involvement in our lives which we can only see by faith, and which is often confirmed with action taken by God as it effects our physical existence.
What are you seeing in your circumstances? Are you seeing a wayward spouse in disobedience? Are you seeing a wayward spouse who walked away from his/her vows? Are you seeing a wayward spouse outright living in sin? Have you been verbally or physically abused, rejected and disrespect?
It's hard not to look at the circumstance. But today I am saying: Look to Christ by faith. Trust Him because He is Supreme, and Almighty, and our High Priest who took our place for sin and He loves us.
Yes, you are experiencing a bad marriage. Your physical eyes confirm this, but by faith you call out to God whom you trust to be there for you. Our Lord intervenes and gives us the healing or provides the grace to go through it.
HEB 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
HEB. 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:...
My friends, we don't have to see to believe. We have to trust. We put our lives in the hands of the One who is perfectly worthy of our trust. He promises us a hope and a future (Jer. 29: 11), He promises us mansions in glory (John 14: 3), He promises us no more tears or pain (Rev. 21: 4) and He promises us victory (Rev. 22: 3-5).
Declare today that you will not walk by sight, no matter how negative the situation looks. Declare today you will believe that God will work it out. You will believe that God sees the big picture of your life. You don't need to know everything from beginning to end, because God already does.
Through faith in Him, you can encounter life's problems with confidence, knowing that He will see you through. Your God, our God is BIGGER than whatever circumstances may surround us! "Trust in the Lord God always, for in the Lord Jehovah is your everlasting strength" (Isa.26:4,)
No matter what the situation in your life is, always remember that God is already aware of it and He knows what to do about it. Nothing takes our Lord by surprise. He is working it out for you.
No matter what your wayward spouse is up to. Don't worry about what they are doing or who they are with, because they can only go as far as God will allow. GOD IS IN CONTROL!
