Eyes on the Eternal

At the end of every podcast, we like to ask our guests to share what God has been teaching them in this season of life. This week’s guest is Rob Thomas, he founded Igniter Media in 2003 and plays the role of executive creative director at the company. 

2 Corinthians 4:18

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I was just with my Bible study group this morning. And Second Corinthians 4:18 says, 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. 

And so just this idea for me of looking towards the eternal and not the temporary is something that is really impacting my life now. And it's when I look to God that everything fits for me. 

And I just want to say also that it's amazing what God's done. Our company is in a very healthy place today. God brought people to the company that I didn't expect that are here now that weren't there. I feel like we've been taken care of. I have a great relationship with Jeff. 

There was a time, after he admitted his fraud and I was forced to fire him, that I didn’t know how we would ever be friends again. But now, through a long season of hard work, It's so easy for Jeff and I to get together and hang out and to actually laugh. 

And that's the work of God. There's no other way to describe it.
