Title: Focus on heavenly things.
... 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 KJV
Devotion: We have a special ministry, and because of God’s mercy, we don’t lose heart. We’ve chosen to be honest and not deceive anyone. Instead, we share the truth openly, knowing that some people won’t understand.
The god of this world has blinded those who don’t believe, preventing them from seeing the glorious message of Christ. We don’t preach about ourselves; our focus is on Jesus.
Even though we face challenges, we’re not defeated. We carry the message of Jesus’ sacrifice in our bodies, and our faith sustains us. Our temporary struggles lead to an eternal glory that we can’t see yet.
Proclaiming the Word of God in certain regions of the world is a daunting task that can even cost one's life. I have personal experience living in a country where sharing the message of Jesus can result in severe persecution, even beheading. Yet, by God's grace and resilience, we found ways to continue spreading His Word.
Where is your home? Are you able to openly share the Good News of the Gospel there? If not, lift up the people in prayer, asking God to minister to their hearts. Trust that He will work in their lives, and you will eventually see the fruit of your prayers.
Consider sharing this devotional with those in your network and community, but first, take a moment to pray over it. Your questions, requests for guidance, and suggestions on how to enhance these devotionals are always welcome.
