The Truth Will Set You Free, Part 8

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

The reality of our physical existence is undeniable. Each day we awaken to a world that is filled with pain and joy, clouds and sun, failure and success, problems and opportunities. One of the greatest troubles we have with internalizing God’s truth in the midst of our struggles is comprehending the reality of the spiritual world. We know our problems are real. Cancer makes us sick. Our work makes us angry. Our checkbook is in the red. Our relatives shun us. Our children rebel.

Comprehending the reality of the spiritual world and how it can affect our problems is the real test. Listen to the insight of A.W. Tozer: “Our trouble is that we have established bad thought habits. We habitually think of the invisible world as real and doubt the reality of any other. We do not deny the existence of the spiritual world, but we doubt that it is real in the accepted meaning of the word. The world of sense intrudes upon our attention day and night for the world of our lifetime. The world of sense triumphs. The visible becomes the enemy of the invisible; the temporal, of the eternal.”

We must learn to walk by faith as we pursue God.

“...Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” Psalm 90:2
