Choosing the Eternal Over the Temporal
“So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”- 2 Corinthians 4:18
You might be wondering how to embrace a life of courage and overcome the challenges that hold you back. The answer lies in an important choice to prioritize the eternal over the temporal.
In our fast-paced world, it’s all too easy to become consumed by immediate concerns, whether they are worries about work, relationships, or even personal inadequacies. These thoughts can overwhelm you, making it difficult to see beyond today’s struggles.
The Apostle Paul reminds us that what is seen—the worries and troubles of this life—is temporary, while the unseen—the eternal promises and truths of God—remains forever.
When you allow yourself to be trapped in the cycle of worrying about the now, it becomes impossible to focus on the incredible things that God has in store for you. The distractions of today can dim your understanding of God’s sovereignty and His ability to work all things for your good.
Think about this for a moment: when was the last time you allowed your fears or doubts to overshadow your faith? It’s likely that in those moments, you lost sight of God’s control over your life. You began to define your worth based on your circumstances instead of recognizing your identity as a beloved child of God.
Living courageously is not merely a reaction to your circumstances. It’s a conscious choice to focus on the eternal realities God has laid before you. This perspective can transform your daily life into a testimony of faith. Instead of being overwhelmed by your limitations, you can lean into God’s strength, knowing that He equips you to navigate challenges and empowers you to live out your purpose.
Choose to walk by faith, believing that God’s plans for you are good and that His presence is your greatest comfort. By making the conscious decision to trust in the eternal, you’ll discover the courage to face your circumstances with confidence, ultimately revealing the transformative power of living a life centered on Christ. You are called to be an overcomer, and with God’s help, you can rise above the challenges of today and embrace the abundant life He offers.
