Key Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:18
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.
Devotional
Faithful service requires an eternal perspective. Much of what we do seems small or unseen, but when done for God, it carries weight beyond this moment. Paul urges us to fix our eyes on the unseen realities that last.
Eternal focus loosens our need for quick results and human recognition. It steadies us when progress is slow and thanks are few.
Serving with eternity in view transforms discouragement into devotion. We remember that God is weaving our small threads into His large story.
Pray, “Lord, lift my eyes,” and do today’s task with heaven in mind.
