Scripture Reference: 2 Cor 4:16-18
It's easy for us to be discouraged with life when we see that situations around us are not going well. As whatever around us are so real, we interpret the signs according to what the world taught us (eg. when you have cancer, you are seriously ill) and worse, according to our emotions (eg. when you have cancer, you will surely die...or the more practical Singaporeans...when you have cancer, you will first be poor and then die!).
Christians face similar troubles, as we often believe in what the world says more than what the Bible says. I want to encourage all of us who have found Jesus, that what the Bible says is more real than what we can see with our eyes!
If we can believe in what humans say more than what God says, then it is time to question who is then the God in our lives.
"...while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV
Be a Bible-believing Christian. The world can ONLY deteriorate but in the Christian life, there is Life and Life forever more!
"Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16 NKJV
It is time to live life from the inside out. Let the Bible be the truth that guides your heart, your life, your all. Let the building of your spiritual man be your key pursuit in life. I assure you, er...sorry the Bible assures you that,
"...all these things (all you need in life) shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I want to live my life based on what you say and not what the world says. I want to commit myself to reading the Bible, to know who I really am, to know you and the power of your resurrection. Help me Father to confess your truth everyday instead of confessing my troubles. Set me free in the spirit and set me free in life so that the world may see that YOU ARE GOD! Thank you Jesus! Amen!
