Tomorrow

  

So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen.  For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.  2 Corinthians 4:18

 

It's a blessing that my organization has allowed us to be safe and work from home during the COVID-19 outbreak.  With that said, it has also been a challenge to work from home during the pandemic as we have a slow internet connection at the house and on top of that, my company just underwent an internal systems upgrade/conversion.  I sometimes have the tendency to come unraveled when faced with too much pressure and stress. Last week was one of those times, for sure. Following a series of unforeseen events that transpired at work and I pretty much felt defeated by the time the day ended on Monday.  I was simply overwhelmed.  As hard as it was, I really made a conscious effort to keep my focus on Christ as best I could.

God promises us all that the troubles looming in our lives today will not last forever.  So, our goal should be on focusing our attention away from our hurt and pain and looking towards the things that will last forever-God's never-ending love, His gift of grace and mercy, and eternity in heaven with Him.

When you fix your eyes on Him, your present troubles will be seen as only temporary because you know that they won't last for long.

We can live our lives with confidence today because we have a greater hope in God's promises for our lives tomorrow.
