God I look to You... Jenn Johnson

2 Corinthians 5: 16-18...." So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen as temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
I love this truth,  and I pray you believe it too. We live in the now, waiting for the "not yet." We are living in times that are going from bad to worse. How do you keep some kind of peace? For me, I know I'm not home yet, and I've become more and more a person of prayer. Looking more at what's coming, than what's now. 
I love verse 7 of this chapter. " But we have this treasure in Jars of Clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us." What a gift. This inner strength from the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 3: 16. 
I know people right now in my life who are going through some unbearable situations. I am inspired by the strength I see in them.  Only God can do this in them. They look to Him. They keep their eyes fixed on Him. They seek Him daily!! They are not overwhelmed, because He gives them vision to see things Spiritually, and only God can do this in someone when you remain in Him, John 15:4. Apart from Him we spiral down. 
More than ever,  we have to see things from another perspective or you can become full of fear and anxiety. Just what the enemy wants, so he can devour your health. His time is getting shorter. 
The times that we are in, are either going to have you full of "whys" , or you can be full of God's view. But you won't have that. You won't shout Hallelujahs if you keep your eyes on the temporary. 
Become a person of prayer. Desiring to spend more time with Jesus.  Desperate to see things from another perspective. His perspective. Look more to His return, and share the hope you have with others. People are hurting. They are desperate for answers.  God tells us to be prepared to give an answer for the hope we have, 1 Peter 3:15.
Our God reigns! Sing it over your family, the government, the broken, the hopeless.
Sing it... HALLELUJAH OUR GOD REIGNS!

For Your glory Lord
