We live by believing and not by
seeing. - 2 Corinthians 5:7
The devotion today in Uncommon is on faith and Tony compares
how a team plays together with a faith in one another playing their position
and not running to the ball as their instincts tell them to do. He says, "We need to forsake our natural instincts and play our position, no
matter how things look, and trust that the plan will work. That's what it means to live by faith, not by
sight." He continues and
charges to action us by saying, "Play
your God-given position as well as you can, realizing that your assignment fits
into a bigger picture. Do your best,
forget the rest, and trust that God really is in control."
Life is only about faith.
Everything I see, everything I hear, everything I know in this physical
world will either add to my faith or take away from my faith. Often, it depends upon what I want and am
looking to see or hear. There have also been
times when God put the whole world around me in a fog and blurred every concern
I had, whether they were positive or negative; He held me on a knife blade of
faith so that the world was of no consequence and so there was no clear better
alternative for me, forcing me to choose solely and simply on my belief in Him
and His Word.
Would you choose God if heaven wasn't certain? Would you choose God and His Ways if there
were absolutely no benefit to you in any way?
Would you choose God simply because you know Him and trust Him?
