       All we had to consider and contemplate was the natural, the things we see in front of us. (Yes, the hot water tank was getting changed out as I wrote this.) We walked, as unbelievers, by how we felt. If we wanted to buy something, we bought it, regardless of whether or not we really had the money. We would say, “Oh, I’ll just go ahead and buy this car on loan, with a high interest rate, and worry about the payments later. It’ll all work out.” And we would use that kind of godless faith, that wishful thinking all the time. The Christian, on the other hand, would say, “I need this car. And even though I don’t have all the money right now, I’ll check with God to see if he wants me to buy it. And I’ll buy it if he does, in faith, knowing that he will provide me with the money to pay for it as I go along.” The Christian puts God’s will in things, even in things like buying a car. Our faith works when we operate with discernment and wisdom. The unbeliever though doesn’t know much about discernment and wisdom. It’s just all about what he or she wants, and when he or she wants it.
