2 Cor 5:7
“For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct
ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and
divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or
appearance.” AMP
There are a lot of activities happening in
these times around us calling us to pay attention to them rather than the word
of God. If there is a need to live by the above scripture more than ever before,
it is now. I mean this times call for us to live by faith and not by sight or
appearance for the things that we see were not made
out of the things that do appear. What is living by faith and not by sight?
The amplified translation has given us the
clue; it is regulating your life and conduct by your conviction or belief in
God. That is the only conviction that will see man through in these times. It
is also a conviction and belief in the word of God as the only answer to the
situation and circumstances of life. It is the word that is settled forever,
every other thing changes and will change.
Another way that passage can be read is
“We walk by faith and not by our senses”. Sense knowledge faith as opposed
to heart faith needs physical evidences in order to believe. That is what we
see with our physical eyes, what we can touch or feel and what we hear with our
physical ears. This is living by appearance or sight.
To live by heart faith, you have to depend
only on the word of God absolutely. If the word does not say it then it is not
for you no matter the pressure. So make up your mind today, it is only the word
of God that you will regulate your life by.
CONFESSION: I LIVE BY FAITH AND NOT BY MY
SENSES. I AM WORD LED, A WORD RULED BELIEVER. THE WORD OF GOD ALONE IS MY
SUSTENANCE AND MY CONFIDENCE.
