“DO NOT SEARCH FOR SECURITY in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental check-lists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become. There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your check-list, focus your attention on GOD’S Presence with you. This continual contact with The LORD will keep you in HIS Peace. Moreover, GOD will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (GOD’S Presence).” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)
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. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18
Prayer: God help me to focus my attention on your presence with me. Attune my heart to discern what is important and what can wait to do. Help me to fix my eyes on eternal things today – You, Your Word, and People. The only 3 things that are eternal. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
