Reaching For The Light ... p. 115

“…   trusteth 
    in the LORD …”
 Jeremiah 17:7
King James Version of the Bible

SPIRITUAL 
DEVELOPMENT … p.115

“Are you going to believe what you see, or what I’m about to tell you?” is a colloquialism ofttimes used in jest or to lighten an otherwise sticky situation. 

In terms of our own spiritual development, it is an expression that might easily be used to illustrate why we so willingly embrace God intuitively by way of our sixth sense — our spiritual eye; whereas when we are exhorted to hear the Word of God, all too often the seed is sown in stony ground: The message is heard and received but for a season.
