Season 5 Episode 218

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:18There is a difference between seeing and looking. Seeing is often passive, but looking is active and intentional. We may see problems, delays, opposition, sickness or uncertainty, but we do not have to make them the focus of our attention.In this episode of Meditations, we reflect on Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 4:18 and learn how to acknowledge present realities without allowing them to control our faith. What we see may be real, but it is temporary. God’s promises, presence and eternal purpose are greater and enduring.You may see the storm, but you can still look at Jesus. You may see weakness, but you can look at God’s strength. You may see uncertainty, but you can fix your attention on His faithfulness.Key thought: You may not be able to control everything you see, but you can decide what you will look at.
