Another lazy Sunday. I had to go back and retype "Sunday" as it originally came out "Sinday". Didn't mean to do that.
…
Earlier today, someone posted 2 Corinthians 4:18 on Facebook, "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." It's just way too easy for us to lose sight, or rather, to take our eyes off, the eternal things of God. In this world, we are offered a billion different distractions, all of which clamor for our undivided attention. All of it is trying to get a gold on us , and yet, none of it can be held onto. All the things of this world will perish in the end.
As believers, we've been placed in the hands of an eternal God who always loves us and cares for us . We're the ones who don't always care as we should. We're easily distracted, and as sinners, our hearts are prone to wandering. I know my heart wanders from time to time, but that when I realize what I've done, I can turn back to God and seek His forgiveness knowing that I will find it.
I need to trust in The Lord's faithfulness, which I confess is something with which I struggle. I used to read Psalm 103 to myself once day, which has been described as the Gospel as laid out in the Old Testament. That whole passage is about God's faithfulness to forgive sinners. I have a whole page in the Notes app of my iPod Touch filled with verses on God's faithfulness. It's not God lacking faithfulness, it's my not trusting the faithfulness that Scripture makes clear He has.
