"For we walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7)
Every time you and I read a Bible passage which we have read many times before, God is repeating Himself. This substantiates what Abraham Lincoln once said of the Bible, "All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book." All we need is for our Lord Jesus to keep repeating Himself---- "through this Book."
If anyone looks at faith as a mental comprehension, or, "it just makes sense," they are in for a big disappointment. Faith is not found in what we see, feel, or can rationalize. Faith is found in accepting what The Word of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, says. That's why He keeps repeating Himself.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I confess that I too often attempt to, "....walk by...sight." I look forward to Your every day repetition. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
