"(For we walk by faith, not by sight)"
2 Corinthians 5:7
This struck me today because I was trying to imagine what it would be like to really do this. I feel like the world tries to get us to rely on our physical senses only, and God here is reminding us that we need our spiritual senses as well. Just as we need to bridle our passions and allow our spirits to be in control... our spiritual senses need to take a top position in our lives, while still taking good care of our bodies.
The idea of putting the spirit first, or even just understanding what the spirit feels like is incredibly hard sometimes though, because we have to learn how to feel and listen to the Spirit, and we're not always going to get it right... but if we keep praying and keep practicing, we can learn to understand what the Spirit feels like and even what it is communicating, and thereby how to really communicate with God. :) That's one of the most important things that we can learn, ever, so today, let's practice. Even if we are really bad at it, let's talk to God about it and ask him to teach us. He will.
