Maybe a doctor told you, you have an incurable disease and you focus on it. The Bible tells us not to look at the things that are seen bse they are temporal. .in God's sight, all things are possible, he care cure all manner of disease...and lets focus on the things that are not seen bse they are eternal...his word is living, active and sharper than any two double edged sword..it works wonders...

On this day March 19,2020. We see the whole world panicing over an unseen virus. We can't ev?n touch it. But, the media puts it right in our faces on the TV and internet. The key thing they want to do is, to put fear and panic into the hearts of everyone.rnJesus tells us all to fear not! For he is with us always. He will lead the way thru the strom.rnDoing the right things, but washing hands, keep our distants, etc. But, most of all is to pray alway.

I try to live my life by 2corinthians 4 18 mostly everyday, because its very challenging in a world that many people are materialistic. What we don 't see is how fast everything we see can disappear rapidly. I have experience gods love and power, so nothing else I see can truly influence me from knowing this divine love for me. If we focus on what we see, than we are not setting our self to have a true relationship with god. Our enemy of this world will always try to direct us in focusing on what is seen, because he doesn 't want us to receive the divine love of god. when I fine myself thinking or looking at what is not of god I usually redirect my mind to this chapter and verse. Who ever will read this, know that god love you and also pray for me to fight spiritual warfare against all my enemies.

We should not be mindful of the wordly thing but be mindful of heavenly things because all the wordly things will perish
