The Lord is
not interested in training you to evaluate circumstances more accurately. Rather, He wants to have sight and evaluation replaced with vigorous, dependent faith. How easily we fall back into living by sight. The problem is, that is the most inaccurate way to evaluate reality and it brings with it the baggage of disobedience. We don't belong here. We are foreigners, we are founded on the Rock and our home is in heaven. That means we may no longer operate according to this world's economy of call and response. Our response is to the One who rescued us and adopted us. Our response is to the One who is making a home for us and will come to get us. What you see and hear around you is not real - at least it is only a single dimension of reality. for that reason, He has told us what we need to know and we therefore live in the light of His Word and the Light of His Presence. All else will cease to exist, so investment in the temporal is absolutely fruitless. |
