We Live by Faith

II Corinthians 5:7 "We live by faith, not by sight"
As believers, "we live by faith, not by sight"..In other words, we can't live by what we see with our physical eyes..we will be continually disappointed. We live by what we know and believe to be truth. We live by the word of God, and we stand on that word. We shouldn't live by feelings. Our inner self may want to, but God wants us to live by facts and by truth. He wants us to live in the fact of Christ's finished and perfect work for us.This is a precious fact to face, and we believe it...simply because God says it.
My husband from time to time has to correct me when I am finding myself drawn to feelings. He is always reminding me to look at the facts in any situation, and not allow myself to get carried away by any type of emotions. Emotions can really be one of our biggest struggles. They can be as uncertain and changing as the sea or shifting sand. God's facts however, are as certain as the Rock of ages Himself.
If your day today ushers in challenges, tests, and difficulties, ask the Lord to help you face the FACTS in every situation. Remind yourself to stand firm on the TRUTH that is contained in the Word of God. Remeber that Jesus Christ is the same..yesterday, today and forever. (Heb.13:8)
