[The Glory Unveiled]
We live by faith, not by sight. ( 2 Corinthians 5:7 )
In our world today where almost every information is graphically communicated and served at the speed of light, it is difficult to convince people without giving them something for their eyes. Social media with all of its alluring tendencies has heightened our appetite for seeing things. We want to see what’s new. We want to see who said what and when. Debates and arguments are valued on the strength of what is seen rather than what is believed. Today, if you say a famous person bought a new car, for instance, without a picture of it, you may as well be seen as telling lies. Many people are unwilling to settle for unseen promises and wishes. The popular saying goes, “why make wishes when you can have sandwiches?” But contrary to the world’s culture and trends, the unseen world appreciates reality on the scales of faith rather than sight. So that in translation, the seen realities are sustained by what is unseen rather than what is seen. What we see can mislead us because it is susceptible to change and many unstable factors. But once faith is awakened, stability is guaranteed. As believers we only have one way of living; by faith. We cannot live any other way. So that living outside the boundaries of faith means we are not living at all. For us, to truly live means we must exercise faith in every and all things. It also means that we are alive because of faith, without faith, we are as good as dead. Our every existence hangs on the unseen promises of God rather than the laws of nature or Isaac Newton’s.
