Sight comes with faith, not the other way around

Morning: Psalms 121, 122, 123; Jeremiah 25:8-17; Romans 10:1-13
Evening: Psalms 124, 125, 126; John 9:18-41
Because the nations disobeyed God, Jeremiah said they would have to drink from the “cup of God’s wrath.” It doesn’t sound good, does it?!  St. Paul made faith more inviting. He taught the Romans that the answer to their struggle to live well was written on their hearts.  Obedience to external laws inevitably leads us to fail, or to misinterpret the spirit of the law.  Insight (inner sight) into the spirit of the law comes with faith.  When your heart is no longer blind, you can see the Way and follow in it … because you want to.
