Good morning Zebras,
An interesting except from “Touching the Invisible: Living
by Unseen Realities.”
“We see the blind eye, the withered arm: Christ saw the
will and power of His Father to heal, and spoke the word, “Stretch forth thine
arm,” “Receive thy sight.” We see the
five loaves and the multitudes and say, “What are they among so many?” Christ
saw His Father’s invisible and unlimited supply, gave thanks for it, acted on
the full assurance of it, and faith was seen to be “the giving of substance to
things hoped for.”
He goes on to say that we have one great enemy of faith, the
fear of the visible. We focus so much on
what we see, we forget that another world exists. Tozer would agree, an excerpt from “The
Pursuit of God.”
“God and the spiritual world are real. We can reckon upon
them with as much assurance as we reckon upon the familiar world around
us. Spiritual things are there inviting
our attention and challenging our trust.
Our trouble is that we have established bad thought habits. We habitually think of the visible world as
real and the doubt the reality of any other.”
Two worlds, existing side by side. One we see with our eyes, one we see with our
faith. And every man must choose his
world.
Love,
Jill
