Eyes of Faith - EN

Ruminating : Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
" He has made everything beautiful in its time , and even He set eternity in their hearts . Yet people can not find out the work that God does from beginning to end . " Ecclesiastes 3:11
Crises of life can be experienced by anyone , whether it be sickness, layoffs , disasters etc. . In the face of a crisis is very important to note is how we perceive the crisis . If we look at life with the physical eyes , then we will be mired in despair , but if we look also to the ' eye of faith ' then we have no hope. Like the preacher said , " He has made everything beautiful in its time , and even He set eternity in their hearts . Yet people can not find out the work that God does from beginning to end " ( Ecclesiastes 3:11 ) .
Jesus said that He is the light of the world . When we look at the crises of life only , with the physical eyes , we only see a dark image . But when looking at the ' eyes of faith ' and inserting Jesus , then there is a light in the picture . Faith will give hope that God will make everything beautiful in its time .
We see many examples in the Bible , how the characters looked a crisis of faith in his life with the ' eyes of faith ' and they had the victory . When disposed of his brother Joseph , and Joseph when put in prison ; David when Saul persecuted ; Daniel when thrown in Babylon , when entered the lion's den and much more . Why they can have an attitude like that ? One similarity that I see is that they have a close association with God . This is confirmed by the Lord Jesus in the parable of the man building a house . Those who build on sand , crushed his home when the storm came . Those who build on the rock , the house was solid despite storm . Storms of life will definitely 'stop ' in our lives , only time we do not know . We must always be ready .
Motivation : let us get close to God so that we can always use the ' eyes of faith ' in the storms of life .
