Words of Encouragement

 

January - 14 - 2007

 

What do you see most clearly today? Is it what is seen or what is unseen? No matter our belief system, we ultimately have to trust what we can't see. Even the most atheistic scientists trust gravity, breathe air, and depend upon principles they cannot see. But as Christians, we don't believe the seen world is any more real as the unseen world. In fact, most of the seen world is subject to death, disease, disaster, decay, disorder, and death. If the seen world isn't any more permanent than that, it's not going to be very real for any of us for very long. We need to hang on to something that allows us to look past the seen and to find our heavenly Father who is unseen. He is the one who guarantees the unseen!

Let us read 2 Corinthians 4:18.

While we look 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.

Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.

Eternal Father and God of all peoples, help us see more clearly the spiritual, eternal, and real world of the unseen. We are not seeking novelty, nor are we on some quest for the bizarre. We only want to know You, your truth, and your character so that we may display them to others and help them come find You in the world of the unseen. Please grant us greater success at reaching others, to your glory.

In the name of Jesus we pray.

Amen.
