DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- A MATTER OF FOCUS

A MATTER OF FOCUS
II Corinthians 4:16:b-18
 
"Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working us a far exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
 
I am made up of two parts: a body and a spirit. One is outward – the other is inward. One is visible – the other is invisible. One is temporary – the other is eternal. One is earthly – the other is heavenly. I spend a lot of time and energy on the body, making it look good, making it feel good, and feeding it well to keep it healthy. And for what? It is perishing and will end up a pile of dust in the ground. If I spent as much time and attention keeping the spirit – which will live forever – renewed, it would be much healthier. It is a day by day process, and it's a matter of focus.
 
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: The spirit – which will live forever – needs as much daily time and attention as the body – which is perishing.

Have a focused day. Love you.
