SEE BEYOND WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU


Plan your year and your life around a future that lasts.  Abraham gives us a great example:  When he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in a tent… Abraham did this because he was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God (Heb. 11:9-10 NLT).  Abraham was “looking forward” to the city built by God.

Look beyond today.  Everybody is going into the future.  Plan your life around the big picture, instead of just living for today.  And the big picture is connected to that which is of eternal value. 
Your future is tied to an eternity.  The good news is that you get to decide now what your eternity will be like.

We set our eyes not on what we see but on what we cannot see. What we see will last only a short time, but what we cannot see will last forever (2 Cor. 4:18 NCV).
