“So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.” (II Corinthians 4: 18, Amplified Bible)

It may seem natural and logical to look at what is going on around us and to evaluate things according to the evidence of the senses. We can come to judge ourselves and life according to what the body wants to tell us or what our eyes and ears seem to inundate us with.

But physical things are limited in all ways. They tell us one story, but it isn’t the full story, the right story, God’s story of life. These material presentations are temporary and subjective. They can captivate us and draw us into a relationship with life that is full of fear and doubt; that is focused on self and survival; that is governed by emotions and time’s restrictions.

Let’s uplift our thought and let God reveal those unseen things to us. The spiritual truths that undergird reality are everlasting and good, healing, saving, and satisfying. Let’s recognize that Love is not housed in a person or a situation. Truth endures in spite of the world’s attempt to question or misinterpret it. Life is not subject to time and to material conditions and their supposed limits. Life is truly eternal, and this can be realized now.

We can look beyond the appearance of things to the reality of God and His expansive, enduring goodness. The pursuit of this spiritual vision and its exercise brightens our daily lives, uplifting our thoughts and leading to real productivity, joy, healing, and peace.
