The Life God Blesses.

The Bible says, we don't look at troubles that we can see right now.

Instead, we look forward to what we have not yet seen.

For troubles we see will soon be over, but the unseen joys to come will last forever faith is

seeing believing what you cannot see and it says here we look forward to what we have not yet seen

you see the things you see right now are temporary everything you see is not going to last it's what

you don't see that's going to last forever. So he says, what are you

going to focus on? The temporary or the eternal? I realize that short-term thinking is what our

culture teaches, and I realize that decade of destiny is a counterculture move. For me to get you

to think 10 years is highly unusual, because most people don't even think a year or a month in advance.

They're only thinking from day to day.

So I realize this is against our culture to think about what am I going to do in the next

ten years.

But you can't see it, but you trust God.

We look at what we have not yet seen.

The troubles we see will soon be over, but the unseen joys will last forever.
