2 Corinthians 5:7 - Live By Faith And Not By Feeling.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV) We live by faith, 
not by sight. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   "How do you like my office?" Allison 
asked. Surrounded by the freshness of a newly 
painted room, I said, "I like it a lot." I love 
blue, and the walls were a soothing shade of my 
favorite color. Allison and her husband are eye 
doctors. I was there to help with a business issue. 
   My eyes were quickly drawn to the words 
on a new wall hanging behind Allison's desk, 
For We Walk by Faith, Not by Sight. I especially 
liked how the words were arranged like an eye 
chart, with a very large font at the top 
progressing to smaller fonts on each subsequent line. I 
first wondered why she didn't choose Matthew 6:22, 
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore 
your eye is good, your whole body will be full of 
light" (NKJV) - words that emphasize the importance 
of proper eye care. Then the deeper truth of 2 
Corinthians 5:7 struck me. Think about how much of our 
lives we live in the darkness of the unknown - 
times when we are dealing with a career change, 
health issue, financial struggle, or relocation, 
times when even with perfect physical vision, we 
can't see the outcome. 
   As my wife, Pat, and I downsized to a 
smaller home this year, we faced many unknowns and 
unexpected developments. With each new encounter we did 
our best to make the right choice. We wouldn't 
know how it worked out until we began living with 
our choices. The words in Allison's office from 
2 Corinthians 5:7 had inspired me to seek 
God's guidance in making each decision and leave 
the results to Him. 
   Dear God, thank You for being our eyes 
through stretches of life where human eyes are not 
enough. Teach us to surrender the outcome and trust 
that You are working for our good. Amen. John
