,Ephesians 1.18-19

 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. 

Hope v. Fear

My physical eyes see the problems around me which leads to anxiety, fear, and worry.

My spiritual eyes see Jesus, holding my hand, leading me.  Even in the valley of death I shall not fear.  For God is with me. 

Riches v. Poverty

I am God’s child.  All He has is mine. All this and heaven too. I shalt not want.  Poverty is thinking I own anything; building a house on the sand.  What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?  

Power v. Weakness

My physical eyes see the giant and I run for shelter.  My spiritual eyes see the Rock that can slay the giant. The Rock of my salvation, Jesus.  And Jesus who lives inside of me, the Holy Spirit, is God’s seal and guarantee of life eternal.
