What gets the most attention?

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. - 2 Corinthians 4:18

This verse stood out to me because I think it shows faith. We fix our eyes on what is unseen, we fix our eyes on God. We have faith that He is there even though we can not see him. It shows us that what we see now, the world, is temporary. That we should always realize that the world is momentary while His kingdom is eternal.

Not saying that we should always focus everything on His kingdom, living the life we have here is also essential. We have work to do here, we have to show the world His love and wisdom.

So this got me thinking about how WE see our life’s here.

Every day we should live with the attitude that good things will happen. We know that God’s plans for us are good, we know He’s there for us. Yet there are so many times that life gets a hold of you and shakes that attitude and brings anger or sadness – it makes things look ugly.

So what does our faith expect every day of our life’s? We must look through the eyes of faith and start seeing ourselves how God sees us. Start seeing ourselves according to the inheritance...we don't have to talk to God into it, He's already made provision for us.

You can choose to focus on the things that are subject to change OR you can choose to focus on those things that are eternal, the things that are for God, His plans for our life’s. What things get the most attention in your life?

Which is why I think we must first change what we SEE, what we’re looking at before we can change how we live.
