4/4/2011 - "Secrets to unseen and unknown"

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.”

Observation:

I get so caught up with the life of the day, and relationship of the day, I forgot that all things move in circular motion. Meaning, I was put into this place for a purpose, and the relationship I face daily is to possibly share my faith. The circumstance that might come in full circle might be God has intervened that it is not the right time or thing to be doing. He wants me to refocus and reroute to my path. But why is it so hard to think when things are spiraling in the moment? My emotions get to me, no matter how sincerely I understand and feel for, still the fact that I was played was extremely hurtful. Why can I refocus my attention that, events in my life are happening so that God get refocus my faith? For the eternal life which I dream of, he is wanting me to seek… but refocusing my emotions and thoughts to him. Being angry at the situation is powerless, as I am being angry with God. Let the angers free, and look at the unseen of his purpose. We live in a world where we are fear of what tomorrow might bring, yet what the next few hours of will bring. Have to rely on be faithful that it will be glorious events in life which God will bring and lay it out to me.

Application:

I live in a world where day to day a full circle of patterns is. Get up, go to work, do my job, and sometimes have more relaxing days then other, come home and go to sleep. Where within that circle of the days, is my time with God? My time to enjoy and really focus my thoughts onto him? What appears in my eyes are temporary, however, what I might set aside for right before I go to bed should be happening more often than other daily activities. Just because God cannot been seen doesn’t mean that he is non existences, I just get preoccupied with daily work and trying to fulfill happiness to other I forget the key essential of it all, my work should be providing happiness for God, not anyone else. Going forward, I need to really think what I am doing is Gods calling, what I am doing is what will bring glory to God?

Prayer:

Majestic one, creator of me and this universe. Your work is so great, yet I forget to recognize and be the servant you have wanted me to be. I am easily irritable and lacks patience, especially circumstance does not work out to my plan. But teach me and guide me that my plans are nothing and the plan I should work towards is the plan you have for me.
