~~"We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen."
---(2 Corinthians 4:18)--

---The apostle Paul and his co-workers experienced great suffering at the hands of persecutors and even from believers who tried to discredit them. Yet, they had their eyes fixed on eternity. Paul boldly acknowledged that "we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (2Corinthisn 1:18).

Although they were doing God's work, they lived with the reality of being "hard pressed on every side," perplexed," "persecuted," and "struck down" (vv.8-9). Shouldn't God have delivered them from these troubles? But instead of being disappointed, Paul built his his hope on the "eternal glory" that supersedes momentary troubles (v.17). He knew God's power was at work in him and had complete assurance that "the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus" (v.14).

~~When our world around us feels shaky, may we turn our eyes to God--the eternal Rock that will never be destroyed.
