Looking Ahead
--------------------------------------------
2 Corinthians 4:18
So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. (NLT)
How difficult it is to not see the elephant in the room! When problems are in our life it is hard to look past them. And so we get so entangled in them we have time for nothing else. We constantly think about the issues and how we can solve them.
It is not just the troubles that take our gaze away. What about that new flat screen television? When you first installed it, I bet you had to sit in front of it every evening to enjoy it. Everyone was so big and the picture so sharp you just had to enjoy every minute you could.
Next you upgraded to a Blue Ray DVD player and surround sound. WOW! Bring on the new movies. It is almost like being in the movie theater. Once again we fix our gaze on what we can see.
Now that we have the new large screen set, we can get a WII with tennis, golf, exercise programs, car racing and lots of other cool stuff. We do not have to leave the living room to see movies or play golf or be in a super fast car race. We are wrapped up in what we can see and touch.
Our troubles are temporary and are things are just that. When we pass over to the other side we leave all our troubles and all our things. They are temporal, but the things we cannot see will last forever. We need to start looking ahead and fix our gaze on what we cannot see.
Are you fixing your gaze on the things that cannot be seen?

Money
We have been listening to other preachers
lately and it has been a joy! One pastor's sermon was titled "Money
Talks" As I sat and listened, I thought how brave he was to speak so
frankly about our money and possessions and how we prioritize where we
spend/save/ or horde our money. I do not know about you, but I know I
have some warped thinking when it come to Dollars and Cents! "It is
mine" just like "My house", "My car", "My dog", My cloths", and of
course "My money" to do what pleases me, myself and I. Gee I do sound
like a two year old, don't I. I wonder if I am alone in this department.
Life is all about Me, Myself, and I and that perspective must change in
order for the Lord to rule my life! Yours too!
We are here on borrowed time; hopefully we
have enough to redirect our priorities into His Priorities for us. Lord I
want to see the fullness of Your provision for my life, the earth, and
all that is in it! All those things you have given us the privilege to
manage until you return for us. Show us all Lord how to be the good
stewards of your possessions, in Jesus name we all pray.
