2 Cor. 5:17 ” we walk by faith, not by sight. ”

(John Piper) ” for now the most precious and important realities in the world are beyond our physical senses!  We look at these unseen things through the gospel. We strengthen our hearts; we renew our courage; by fixing our gaze on the invisible, objective truth that we see in the testimony of those who saw Christ face to face. ”

So today, Lord, I revel and marinate in the word of God. I feed on Jesus’ promises and instructions, and I see how those promises and imperatives play out in the lives of the apostles, and how their illumination worked out.  Then I appropriate those understandings and expectations for my own thoughts. I intentionally see that my mind is renewed daily, and more and more thoroughly, by the living and active word of God!
