Staying Far-Sighted

I think we've all heard this song 100 times but I needed to re-direct my focus on eternity tonight. The "temporary things" in our individual worlds can keep us very short-sighted if we allow them. So here's a reminder of what lasts forever.

Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 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 Cor. 4:16-18
