THINK BEYOND THIS WORLD
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).One of the most important lessons in the Christian
life is learning to see beyond the present world
and its temporary concerns. Many of the decisions people
make are based entirely on what benefits them now, what
feels convenient today, or what appears advantageous
in the moment. But God's perspective is different. He
evaluates everything in the light of eternity.
This is one reason God's instructions often seem
unusual to the natural mind. He sees what lies beyond the
present. He knows the eternal significance of our choices
and understands the glory that awaits those who walk in
His will. While human reasoning is often preoccupied with
immediate outcomes, God's wisdom is focused on realities
that endure forever.
His Kingdom that we’re a part of, is a spiritual and
everlasting Kingdom. He’s given us an inheritance that is
incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading. This means your
life is connected to something far greater than the fleeting
systems, structures and pursuits of this world. You're called to live and see from an eternal perspective.
When you understand this, your priorities become
clearer. You recognise the value of serving the Lord,
advancing the Gospel, and investing your time, resources,
and energies in things that produce eternal fruits. You
realise that the greatest opportunities in life are not
necessarily those that bring the most immediate rewards
but those that align with God's purpose and contribute to
His eternal plan.
Refuse to evaluate your life merely by earthly gains,
temporary comforts, or momentary advantages. The world
and its systems will pass away, but God's Kingdom is
forever. Therefore, think beyond this world. Remember, the
Lord is coming soon. So, let eternity shape your priorities,
your decisions and your pursuits. When you do, you'll live
with purpose and the confidence that your labour in the
Lord is never in vain.
PRAYER
Righteous Father, I thank you for giving me an eternal
inheritance in Christ and teaching me to see life from
your divine perspective. I walk in wisdom and make
decisions that align with your purpose and your eternal
Kingdom. My heart is set on you to fulfil your divine
purpose and establish your righteousness in the earth,
in Jesus' Name. Amen.
