This is not just a theological concept but a practical source of comfort and strength in the believer's life.

The key is learning to look "up" rather than "down"—not focusing on the corruption and difficulties of our circumstances, but on the unchanging Christ who reigns on the throne. This perspective brings us peace and strength that transcends our circumstances.
