  For the Things which are Seen are Temporal 2008-12-07
     
     During their lives in this world, people are mostly obsessed with the reality that is visible to their naked eyes and thus tend to feel more of disappointment and emptiness than hope and joy. They may dress well and fare richly but with each passing day, their flesh grows weaker and each of them inevitably faces death. What good, then, would all that they have accumulated and accomplished over their lifetimes do?
   Yet, as people believing in God place their hope not in the things of this world but instead fix their eyes on the glory they will enjoy in the eternal heaven, they are not discouraged under any circumstance. Such hope is an anchor for the spirit; it holds fast to each child of God and provides comfort and satisfaction so that he can rejoice and give thanks always. This is how the individual will be enabled to live a life not in vain but one that is truly worthwhile.
   
   "For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18).
