Faith vs. Sight

Read 2 Corinthians 4-6

2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"  This verse is an aside from Paul—he just mentioned this in with the rest of his point.  But this principle is at the foundation of our whole being.

We don’t realize how many things we have to take on faith—it’s part of our everyday lives and we don’t think about it or question it.  We have faith that our loved ones continue to exist, even when we don’t see them.  We have faith—sometimes misplaced—in our vehicles, our appliances, our furniture, our modern conveniences.  We trust that things haven’t fallen apart just because we’re not using them right now.

God’s promises are even more trustworthy.  Just because something seems impossible, doesn’t mean it is, if God has said it.  We can walk confidently by faith and not worry about what is in our sight.

Tomorrow’s reading: 2 Corinthians 7-9
