I have elected to repost a few of my recent Daily Visits with God at this site. They seemed appropriate for here too.
Luke 16:19 KJV
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
I am thinking today of the place of faith in our faith.
Faith sees the evidence that is unseen to the eye of practicality and perhaps even sees, through the evidence that the eye of practicality presents, the evidence the eye of practicality is unable to see.
For the faithless, the practical, they must act on what they know to be true based upon evidence. But because they don't know if they ever have all of the evidence they never know if they hold the whole truth. Bertrand Russell expresses this in his book on Problems of Philosophy. The problem with philosophy, as I can see it, is that it only has problems. It has not, indeed can never have any real answers.
Faith takes us beyond the problem and points out what is the answer in Jesus Christ. Man is truly a spiritual being, created to know Christ. Without Christ the wisest we can ever be is only to see the question.
