Feb.20.03: Light For The Day - "God Will Get You Home" -- 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIVUS) "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." ---------------------------------- For some of you, the journey has been long. Very long and stormy. In no way do I wish to minimize the difficulties that you have had to face along the way. Some of you have shouldered burdens that few of us could ever carry. You have bid farewell to life-long partners. You have been robbed of life-long dreams. You have been given bodies that can't sustain your spirit. You have spouses who can't tolerate your faith. You have bills that outnumber the paychecks and challenges that outweigh the strength. And you are tired. It's hard for you to see the City in the midst of the storms. The desire to pull over to the side of the road and get out entices you. You want to go on, but some days the road seems so long. ... Let me encourage you. ... God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile. -- Max Lucado ------------------------- -- Psalms 25:5 (NIVUS) "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." -- Isaiah 40:31 (NIVUS) "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -- 2Corinthisans 4:16-18; 5:1 (NIVUS) "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 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. 1 Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." -- 2 Corinthians 5:7 "We live by faith, not by sight."
