“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.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)
We have a question to think about today. What is it that makes things real in our lives? Our verse selected for today deals with that question. We have all probably hear the sayings, “Seeing is believing,” or “I'll believe it when I see it.” Some people believe that only what they can actually see is truly real but the Bible teaches us differently. The Bible teaches us that there is reality which can't be seen with our physical eyes. Our eyes do guide us through our world each day and those who have lost their sight are still guided by their other heightened senses – they learn to 'see' in a different way. We believe that the things we see are real but we also believe that there are spiritual realities which we do not see with our senses. What is seen physically with our eyes is temporary and will not last. What we believe in by faith may be unseen in the physical world, but it is eternal and will not pass away. These are the permanent things that are unseen but are real and eternal. Believing and following them makes our life real and eternal.
