Day 3: Journal Pg. 76

Commentary: Matthew Poole's Commentary says, "We see nothing here by the eye of sense but mortality, corruption, and misery; but by faith we see another more excellent and glorious state, and we order our life according to our faith, and sight of things that are invisible:" (Biblehub.org)
Thought: Seeing the world through our own lens leads to anxiety, hopelessness, and depression. Faith gives us insight and vision into the work that God is doing that unbelievers can't see. We live aware of the Spiritual Realm and know that the superior reality of heaven can shape and impact any circumstance.
Scenario: The parents of 5 children get a bill for a medical procedure that they don't have the money to pay for.
