Sight
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8
With this week's tragedies, it is often easy for us to lose sight of God's overall goal for us. The sights we have seen give us anguish and cause us to wonder, what's next. God asks us to love others and love Him, and we have seen plenty of people loving others. We have also seen the hatred in people's hearts by taking advantage of the less fortunate. We need to remember that our sight of the future relies on that faith in our Heavenly Father, that whatever tragedy comes our way, there is hope on the other side. We can get so bogged down in our negative circumstances that we tend to let those overtake our faith and diminish it. Don't lose sight of what God has for you and stay on the path of righteousness that leads to our real home with the Lord.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
