「我們行事為人，是憑著信心，不是憑著眼見。」－哥林多後書5:7
神從來不願我們注視感覺，只有撒但和我們的己在意感覺。神要我們注意的是事實，就是那些關於基督的事實，以及基督所作成的一切美妙工作的事實。
神給了我們感覺，卻從來不是為著讓我們藉此來信靠祂，也不是使我們藉感覺的鼓勵來信靠祂，更不是用感覺聲明我們已經完全信靠祂。
神給我們感覺，是在我們已經能脫離感覺而信靠祂之後，是在我們已經能安穩地持守祂的話語，並祂的應許之後。
在這之前，我們不會有從神而來的任何感覺；終究，神會照著各人所需要的，賜給各人該有的感覺。
在此，我們必須做出抉擇：到底我們要相信我們的感覺，還是要相信神所給的事實呢？
我們的感覺像無定的海洋，與刻變時翻的海沙；但神的事實，卻如永古的磐石一樣穩靠不移，因為「耶穌基督，昨日、今日、直到永遠，是一樣的」（希伯來書13:8）。
"We walk by faith, not by appearance" (2 Cor. 5:7, RV).By faith, not appearance; God never wants us to look at our feelings. Self may want us to; and Satan may want us to. But God wants us to face facts, not feelings; the facts of Christ and of His finished and perfect work for us.
When we face these precious facts, and believe them because God says they are facts, God will take care of our feelings.
God never gives feeling to enable us to trust Him; God never gives feeling to encourage us to trust Him; God never gives feeling to show that we have already and utterly trusted Him.
God gives feeling only when He sees that we trust Him apart from all feeling, resting on His own Word, and on His own faithfulness to His promise.
Never until then can the feeling which is from God. possibly come; and God will give the feeling in such a measure and at such a time as His love sees best for the individual case.
We must choose between facing toward our feelings and facing toward God's facts. Our feelings may be as uncertain as the sea or the shifting sands. God's facts are as certain as the Rock of Ages, even Christ Himself, who is the same yesterday, today and forever.
