Thought For Today - 5/9/10

We look [Faith looks] not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. – 2 Corinthians 4:18

If you want to maintain the spirit of faith, you will quit considering the natural impossibilities that might be piling up around you this very moment. God is not sweating them, so neither should you.

Instead, focus your attention on the promise of God. Keep His Word in front of your eyes and in your ears until you can see it coming to pass with the eyes of your spirit.

That’s what the spirit of faith does. It looks not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.

Of course, I’m not saying you should ignore your problems or close your eyes to them as if they are not real. They are real. But according to the Word they are temporal. That means “subject to change.” And you can be assured that if you keep looking at what the Word says, they will change!

You can develop your faith. You can walk by faith. You can. You can. You can. Just keep your eyes on the Word.

Much love,
Joseph
