2 Corinthians 4:16-18 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
[17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
[18] 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.
We are challenged to get our eyes off this world with it’s sin, it’s problems, and It’s coronavirus.
Live in the truth of who you are in Jesus Christ.
You are a pilgrim and a stranger. You are just a person passing through this world on your way home.
Along the way, you will become disillusioned, defeated, and discouraged; but you do not have to lose heart.
God can and will help you make the journey home with glory in your soul if you will keep your eyes on Him, and not on what you see.

“This world is not my home, —. I'm just a passing through, — My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue; —. The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door, —. And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Chorus
“O Lord, I know, I have no friend like you, —. If Heaven's not my home, O Lord what can I do? —. The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door. — And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
“The saints in glory land. — are shouting victory. — I want to join their band and live eternally; — I hear the sweetest praise — from heaven's open door, —. And I can't feel at home.In this world anymore.”
