Keeping Our Eyes Spiritual

We sometimes allow our troubles to divert our attention from the "glory" that awaits us in eternity. The scripture reminds us, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." (Romans 8:18)

How can we overcome this diversion? II Corinthians 4:18 reads, "So 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."

The results? Then we won't be discouraged!

Prayer: "Lord, I thank you that these troubles are temporary! Help me to focus today on You and Your Kingdom and not on my troubles. In Jesus' Name, Amen!"
