2 Corinthians
5:7
"For we walk
by faith, not by sight." ESV
Our God designed
us with five senses: sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touch. This design for us
is to physically survive in this world by giving us information about our
surroundings in order to understand our world and form our thoughts about it.
When we are born again through faith in Jesus Christ, we come alive spiritually.
God's design for us to give us information and understanding in the spiritual
realm is the Holy Spirit. Being human, we are prone to allowing our physical
senses to guide us even in spiritual things. This results in spiritual and
physical confusion and our questioning God. It's much like we would feel riding
a camel in the streets of downtown New York city. It takes staying the the Word
of God, prayer, and communion with the Lord and other Christians to keep walking
out our spiritual life by faith. Then while we use our physical senses in our
everyday earthly lives, the Holy Spirit uses the information gathered by them to
see God working and to trust Him to see us through it all.
Heavenly Father,
we give You thanks for the wonderful design of our physical bodies to understand
the world in which we live. Even more, we give You honor and glory for life in
the Spirit through faith. Help us to walk in that faith always, and not rely on
our physical senses. It is the spiritual that is eternal and of utmost
importance for us. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
