Mere Appearances

John 7:24 (Amplified Bible) Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously.

Imagine how much we miss out on because we allow our choices to be influenced by appearance. We may miss out on a relationship with a wonderful, godly person because maybe they seem a little odd. Or maybe we miss out on working a job where God knows we would be happiest, because it doesn't seem to pay what we think it should. Perhaps we miss out on leading a soul to Christ because of the apparent lack of time, money, etc. It is time we stop looking with the eyes of flesh and start looking through the eyes of God. Only then will we experience His will perfected in us, and have the abundant and full life that He wants for us. Only then will we be able to go beyond what seems to be, to what is.

Have A Blessed Day
