One of my councellors would say Geoff, it doesn't matter how much you know, but do you believe what you know? He would say the trip from the head to the heart is the longest journey. I thought that he was crazy, but the truth is he was right. I have heard many people say I know all of that and I say well do you believe it? And they say well me knowing it is believing it? And I say no, it is two different things. We can know what the weather man said about todays weather, but do you believe it to be true?
Belief is about walking in faith, even when things may not make to much sense. Can you see that faith is not from head knowledge, but has to come from the heart. Our heads want reason, facts and we need to see, but faith is not about seeing, but about something much more incredible.
Today I urge you to consider this, does your faith come from your head knowledge or your heart knowledge.
(James 1:22) Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. (23)Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror (24) and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
