People Only See What They Want To See

A woman in a car was chasing a red cab as they approach an express way, she saw the cab making its turn. She still chased the cab and made her turn. The express way was almost empty; she lost sight of the cab. It couldn’t have driven so fast that she lost sight of it. Where did the cab go? She drove fast to chase it further but she failed to locate it. She passed a huge trailer truck. The red cab was gone.

Most of the time, we are focused on the things we only see. What we perceive is what our eyes can actually witness. As humans there are two sides – physical and spiritual.

2 Corinthian 4:18
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.

The Bible clearly states, there are things which are not seen and there are things which are seen, the visible and invisible.

In this world, a magnet shows two things, the seen which is the steel and the unseen which is the magnetism.

There are invisible things of God, which are made manifest by the things he made. The proof of the spiritual or invisible are manifest by the things God had made.

Romans 1:19-20
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

We focus only on material aspect of life. We are too occupied by the things of this earth like career, wealth, achievements, passion, etc. that we fail to realize that there are more important things than the material side of our being, the spiritual side of it. We strive for material perfection and forget the spiritual salvation. We are trying so hard to accumulate the material wealth rather than spiritual wealth.

Matthew 6: 31-33
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

The Lord Jesus Christ taught us to look for the kingdom of God, and worry not with things of this world for God will always provide. He knew what we need, even we don’t ask for it. Seek Him and you shall find. He will never leave you.

Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Let’s start to look at the deeper meaning of life. We should center our life in worshipping and obeying God because that is the purpose of our existence.

Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Let us look far beyond what eyes can see. Let’s focus on the spiritual aspect of ourselves. Let’s go back to the care and love of the God. Have mercy on your soul.

I love every word of this blog bro arth. Very well said. This is what everyone should realise. That life in this world is temporal. Thanks be to God that we have found the true Church which is the Church of God. We have learned to seek God and follow His commandments no more no less.. So we can live the life we are aiming for.. In eternity. To God be the Glory!

A simple way of asking people to focus on the the spiritual aspect of life.
