Good morning and Happy Friday. Blog post #2 ... Usually I'm struggling to get out the door each day for work but today I'm ready and have fifteen minutes before I need to leave. Isn't God amazing? He always makes a way.
"My faith shall be my eyes ... " is a verse in the song "I Will Rise" by Chris Tomlin. Great song. Great CD. That verse has stayed with me over the months ... think about it. My faith shall be my eyes. How many of us can say that is true? We want it to be true but so many times we allow our circumstances to determine our faith. God says look to ME. Have faith in ME. I will get you through no matter what you see with your natural eyes ... We must look through our eyes of faith. Trusting God NO MATTER WHAT!!!
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 says "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 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." Let's do that today. Let's practice seeing with eyes of faith. When the enemy tries to distract you, say NO. I'm going to see things God's way today. Let's also have an eternal perspective. Our troubles are light and momentary when we think of eternity.
Hebrews 12:2 - "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." That is how our faith shall be our eyes. When we keep our eyes firmly fixed on JESUS.
I hope your Friday is extra special. Remember you are the apple of HIS eye. :)
