DO NOT SEARCH FOR SECURITY in the world you inhabit. You tend
to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain
control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you
could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that
goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more
frustrated you become.
There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing
your checklist, focus your attention on My Presence with you. This
continual contact with Me will keep you in My Peace. Moreover, I will
help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be
done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your
circumstances), but on what is unseen (My Presence).
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen
is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18
