Fix Your Eyes Upon Him

Fix Your Eyes Upon Him

When life’s troubles loom, remember: God is powerfully at work in what you can’t see. Fix your eyes on His promises—they outlast every storm.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18

That medical report. The empty chair. The prayer that’s hung in the air for years. It’s easy to fixate on what’s visible—to let the tangible world convince us, “This is all there is.”

But Paul’s words are a lifeline, not a platitude. Faith isn’t ignoring the diagnosis, the grief, or the waiting. It’s staring straight into the storm and whispering, “I see this… but I also see You, God.”

What’s unseen isn’t a vague hope. It’s the quiet, relentless work of a God who never wastes a tear, a prayer, or a moment of faithfulness. Every time you choose love when it’d be easier to give up? He’s saving it. Every night, you keep praying for what seems impossible? He’s counting it. Every choice to trust when all seems dark? He’s weaving it into a story that outshines time.

Your struggles are real, but they’re not permanent. The same God who resurrected dry bones is rewriting your equation. What looks like an unsolvable problem to you is His sacred setup.

Today, lift your eyes higher. — The seen is temporary—but the unseen is eternal.

Dear God, Thank You for seeing the hidden corners of my heart—the silent fears, the flicker of faith that feels so fragile. When the world’s noise buries Your voice, remind me You are still at work: transforming each doubt into a doorway of trust, each ordinary step into sacred ground. I lay down what I can not control—the results, the timelines, the anxieties that rob me of peace. Let Your love eclipse my fears, and ground me in who You are forevermore. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
