DOWNRIGHT DISAPPOINTING

Sometimes our circumstances feel permanent and downright disappointing. It’s easy to dwell on the way things used to be or how we wish they were. But God wants us to look beyond.

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, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

That is our hope! Not what is right in front of us, not the painful realities or even the momentary joys of today, but the wonderful things God has in store for us in the future.

Where are you placing your hope right now?

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” - 2 Corinthians 5:7

Dear God, sometimes it feels like nothing will ever change. Give me faith to believe in the things we cannot see. Remind me, Lord, that the future with You is absolutely amazing.
