Tag 2 Corinthians 5:7

Our feelings are unstable. Feelings change moment to moment. I’m not saying that our feelings and our emotions are bad. God gave them to us to fully experience and appreciate life. However, our feelings and emotions should never be in the drivers seat. They make lousy motorists. We walk by faith and not be sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). In this verse, sight is emblematic of our senses, feelings and emotions. Faith in God and in His Word must take precedence over feelings and emotions in order to be victorious in this life.

The Invisible God created the natural, physical world. It can be said that invisible things are “more real” than visible things. It takes a while to wrap our heads around this concept because from birth we’re more conscious of physical things than we are of spiritual things.

Giving the things of God first place in our lives assures us that we can walk through this life fearless and un-phased by the threats posed by our enemy.

Don’t limit what the Spirit of God can do in your life by what you understand. We walk by faith…not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

We walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). This is one of those super-spiritual sounding verses whose meaning is actually quite simple. It simply means that we walk by what the Word of God says about us, not by the information that our senses are giving us. Do you lease a car? Do you have a mortgage? Do you have a spouse? If you replied yes to any of the above, it’s not necessary that you feel like you have any of these things. There are legal documents that declare that you’re leasing a car, have a mortgage, and that you are married. Your feelings on these matters are a mute point.
