This is a weekly series with things I’m reading and pondering from Oswald Chambers. You can read the original seed thought here, or type “Thursdays With Oswald” in the search box to read more entries.
Sixth Sense
The life of faith is the life of a soul who has given over every other life but the life of faith. Faith is not an action of the mind, nor of the heart, nor of the will, nor of the sentiment, it is the centering of the entire man in God.
… The faith of the saints is, as it were, a God-given sixth sense which takes hold on the spiritual facts that are revealed in the Bible.
From Christian Disciplines
When we look at the “hall of fame” of faith in Hebrews 11, we see the repeated phrase by faith. These amazing lives were lives not by a belief in a principle, but by belief in a Person. Faith-filled people haven’t worked themselves up into faith, but have centered themselves in the rock-solid assurance that the God of the Bible is their God.
When Christians live this way, we don’t always have “logical” rationale for why we feel a certain way, but we do have, as Chambers put it, a sixth sense. The Holy Spirit in us bears witness with our mind, and heart, and will, and sentiment that we are following God’s way.
