Looking upward

​6-18-21
Today’s devotion is based on 2 Corinthians 4:18, “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
It is always easier to focus on the here and now than it is on things unseen. God invites and encourages us to lift our eyes to the things above and always have Jesus and his Word in our thoughts and hearts. He encourages us to think about and look forward to our heavenly home. To eagerly anticipate eternity with Jesus and all believers in heaven—a place where we will not pace the halls with worry or anxiety, but a place where we will live stress-free in perfect peace and joy. Looking toward the things above will help you get through today and tomorrow.
Please pray with me the prayer for today: Dear Jesus, thank you for the heavenly home you have prepared for me. Please help me to fix my eyes on things eternal. Amen.
