Bible Question:
In praying to God in the early morning hours of this morning, I thanked Him for my five senses; sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. I also thought of other common senses known to man; sense of worth, sense of accomplishment, sense of humor. What sense and Scripture come to your mind when considering these things? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Ray wrote, "In praying to God in the early morning hours of this morning, I thanked Him for my five senses; sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. I also thought of other common senses known to man; sense of worth, sense of accomplishment, sense of humor. What sense and Scripture come to your mind when considering these things? - From the heart, Ray." What came to my mind Ray, was; "walk not by sight... look not at the things which are seen... lean not on your own understanding... renew your mind... put on the new man." I'm not meaning to come across as putting down what you are thanking the Father for, but it did get me to thinking. These same things (our senses), oftentimes keep us from totally walking by faith... totally trusting Him. I'm not advocating that we ask the Father to do away with them (remove them, ouch!), but rather to renew our minds towards not trusting them all-together... all the time. I pray I continue to learn, to trust the Father first, regardless of the arguments that I can possibly perceive with my senses. That's what came to my mind, I’m thankful for my senses, but I’m also learning not to trust them first. Blessings, Bobby Conner |
