A reminder for
today
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. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
I woke up this morning to go to the gym and everything was
very quiet in the house. We had a power failure again. As far as I can see the
power went off before midnight and it is still off. Welcome to Africa. I
believe it is sabotage again, because if one good one stands against the masses
they always retaliate. This is classic ANC and EFF syndrome. They can’t get the
DA out of office in Pretoria, so they sabotage them. Little people.
Paul reminds me again today that it is not about the things
we see, but the unseen things of eternity. When I get frustrated and irritated
by what is happening here in South Africa I am always reminded that this is not
important. It is not about this world, but it is all about Jesus.
You see we have to remember that this world that we see is
all temporary and despite all the hate and murder and terrible things that
happen around us for control off this temporary world, it is still just
temporary and not important. It is difficult to see the enemy use people to
hurt and destroy and how blind people are for what is actually happening. It is
almost as if the whole moral compass does not exist when you see what evil
truly looks like. For a Christian this is hard to understand.
So, I find myself challenged a lot lately and I can tell you
the enemy is hard at work to pull me down and make me fall. Unfortunately for
him I am a child of God and my life belongs to Jesus Christ. I have been bought
and saved by the blood of my saviour on the cross and I continue to pray for my
enemies and all you, my dear friends.
We may struggle to understand why, and we may not see God’s
plan, but one day we will see and understand. “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I
know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Corinthians
13:12)
One day we will see and understand, but now we need to focus
on the things that is unseen and carry the gospel with us so that we can lead people
to Jesus and encourage those that are going through hardships and challenges.
We must not give up now, but rather fight harder. We must
stand up and unite in prayer for our people and for all Christians all over the
world. We must not forget that Jesus is coming again, and we should be ready at
all times. Clear you mind of all the bad and negative and focus on that which we
are promised by God. He will save us, and He will return. Stand strong and be
courageous and pray.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
