Eyes on the King

You might ask yourself, as many ask me in the counseling room, “but how do I live like this?” Verse 9 in Philippians 3 tells us that Paul's righteousness comes from nothing he does, rather it comes from faith in Christ. Second Corinthians 4 encourages us when we are tempted to fear what people are speaking about us or if our work is good enough. Verse 18 is quite assuming of us since it begins with “as we look…”. We are already looking for people, things, money, power, influence and ourselves to bring us satisfaction and peace and redemption. We must turn our eyes to what is unseen, the eternal. We must turn our eyes to the King.
