invisible world

Do you have confidence in the invisible world? That is the question to ask yourself every morning when you get up. You see, your whole day will be swamped and saturated with people trying to get you to believe something that actually is not true. This “visible” world is an illusion of deception.

The news media will always overemphasize bad things and underemphasize good things. Advertisements will always tell you what you want to hear and offer quick and easy routes to pleasure. But I am here to tell you, for example, no matter how much of that particular brand of beer you drink (my 21+ years readers), you are still not going to get to date that babe. Just deal with it.

What about the invisible world? How is that any more real? Here’s how.

(Psalm 103:19)
The LORD has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything.

(2 Corinthians 4:18)
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

We know God is in charge. We have experienced it in our own lives. We have sensed it in others. There is something besides the constant bombardment. Something besides the noise. It is God at work actively, both visibly and invisibly.
