"We live by faith, not by sight."
2 Corinthinans 5:7
I will attempt to be brief today, but I can make no promises to that effect. Consider yourself warned. (Kidding, of course.)
We're getting into deep thoughts about faith, and about how faith exists and governs and flows through everything we do, say and everything we are. And these words from Paul are but further proof that our faith is not just a decision we make. It is, in fact, a way of life.
Faith is a part of me. It is who I am. And, as a fellow Christian, it is a part of who you are, as well. This thing within us, our faith, is the guide-rope along our balance beam of life. This faith that is in and around us is what forces our turns and twists along the road that we all travel.
And even as my wife's choice of TV program says, we must "have a little faith" as we move forward. They are discussing grief, and dealing with loss, but the statement is still a sound and relevant one.
And think about how bad things can be when you only look through your physical eyes. The things we see are always skewed by our failures and our missteps and our short-comings. But we have a better set of eyes to look through... and they come from within us!
Take time today to focus on how your life has been turned by your faith; how you have "somehow" known when you needed to readjust your course. And please, please, please realize that this is your faith, your Christianity, your very soul speaking to you and guiding you and aiding you in making decisions. Relax a little, and let your faith help you to make decisions, and honor the Lord in this!
God bless you all!!!
