SCRIPTURE:

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:17)

DEVOTIONAL:

Logic is of this world; faith is of the supernatural world. As human beings, we naturally follow our own minds instead of going outside our comfort zones and accessing God’s way. But human reason and logic aren’t trustworthy. Never let what your reason tells you determine what your heart believes. Nowhere in the Bible did logic produce a miracle.

Most of the knowledge taught in our educational institutions is practical and logical. It makes sense, but human reason will always be on the opposite side of faith. God wants us to live in the supernatural realm, in the high life.

The day God calls us home to be with Him eternally will be glorious. No longer will we have to endure the natural realm (and that will be wonderful), but we don’t live passively looking ahead to heaven. No, we live actively declaring God’s will through His Word by faith. As we grow, we learn to see the world through faith. Remember, we can actually see with God’s faith—all the time. So, living in the supernatural realm is not an event. It’s a lifestyle!

PRAYER:

Dear God, I want to live the high life with You! Teach me daily to be led by Your Word, not by my own human reason. Thank you that I live actively declaring Your will through Your Word by faith. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
