Ep. 148: Focus on the Eternal Perspective

<p class="p1">SHOW NOTES:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">In Podcast Episode 148, “Focus on the Eternal Perspective,” Kim discusses the temptation each of us faces to live our lives focusing only on the temporary and only looking through physical eyes. How much more impact would you have if you lived daily looking through spiritual eyes with an eternal perspective?</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 27:1-12 with  1 and 12 as the focal verses.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">1 But David kept thinking to himself, “Someday Saul is going to get me. The best thing I can do is escape to the Philistines. Then Saul will stop hunting for me in Israelite territory, and I will finally be safe.”</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">12 Achish believed David and thought to himself, “By now the people of Israel must hate him bitterly. Now he will have to stay here and serve me forever!”</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">ADDITIONAL VERSES:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
