Transformation Tuesday morning Pauline, I can't stop thinking of the wonderful works of His hands last week and how transforming it was spiritually and the importance of living with a transformed mind.
Scripture:2 Corinthians 4:18 "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Devotion: We have all been through a season in our lives when things did not look good at all. We had one of those days, that turned into one of the weeks, that eventually turned into one of those months. (last week for me) It felt like everything that could go wrong went wrong. The more we prayed the more things unraveled in our lives.
The more we looked at the situation the more down we became and then almost in an instant, The Lord turned it around for us. We must remember we cannot look at things we are going through with our natural eyes, but we must look at every situation with our spiritual eyes.
The Scripture reminds us that we should not look at things which are seen as permanent situations, because they are only temporary, and the things we cannot see are eternal. Think about it in this manner..you go to an ice cream store to get ice cream and it only stays around temporary. Stop and think of the things in your life that is eternal, and I could only come up with one thing and that is His love.
I encourage you today to remember what you see now is not the end of the story it is just a piece of the story.The Lord has so much ahead of you, and you cannot allow what is going on now to stop or block your progress. What you see now in your life is only temporary. What you don't see is the multiplicity of blessings The Lord has for you if you can keep going.
Do not let things, people, or even what you see keep you from moving forward. Every word The Lord has spoken in your life will come to pass, and although you may not be able to see it now, believe it will happen simply because The Lord said it would. This day I pray for your spiritual mind-set and that the negative you harbor in your mind and head will be canceled and you will think different, love different, shout it out that Jesus Saves!
