Believing, Think Eternal.

QT:
2 Corinthians 4 - 2 Corinthians 6

[2 Corinthians 4: 7 - 10]
⁷But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. ⁸We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. ¹⁰We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

[2 Corinthians 4: 16]
¹⁶Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

[2 Corinthians 4: 18]
¹⁸So 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.

God spoke to me about having faith and seeing the big picture. During times when we are so confused by ourselves, when we feel so helpless, so burdened by ourselves, when we are so desperate but have to do the things we do, so stressed up and uncertain, pressed on every side, we should NOT lose heart. Trust and have faith in Him. It is just that simple. Commit our lives unto Him , let him take charge of our life. Worrying is the absence or decrement of faith. By worrying , we let Satan get a foothold of our life and he gladly distorts our minds and let our minds go wild. Trust God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind that he has great things in store, yet to be discovered. Ultimately, we are the ones who choose whether or not to have faith in Him. Have child-like faith. "If God could bring Moses and the people out of Egypt, how much more can he bring you out of your problems and difficulties ?" Also, God spoke to me about seeing the big picture. Think eternal, not temporal. Life on earth is just a preparation and pre-requisite to eternal life. Be assured, convicted, inspired, passionate to be able to serve. Let our hearts be on fire for God.

Lord, I pray for this closest friend of mine, that you would guide and bless this friend for this friend knows who is in control of this friend's life. Reveal things in your timing. Strengthen this person's faith in you in such times of uncertainty, let this friend have a spiritual refreshment in you and not just know, but understand why this friend does things. Knowing is one thing, believing is another. Sometimes, it may not seem rationale but Lord you work in mysterious ways. God I trust and commit this person's life into your hands , that you would lord it over this person's life and bless this person abundantly, embracing and showering this person with love and care. In jesus precious and holy name I pray, Amen. Be joyful okay? :)
