2 Corinthians 5.7 - Even Paul had to Walk by Faith!

Divine inspiration was not a perma-seal bubble over the Apostle Paul’s life. He was inspired by the Holy Spirit of God to pen 13 letters to churches and individuals that are foundation stones of our New Testament. Thanks be to God for these Words from God in the words of Paul!  But he did not live each day heavenly entranced, following a yellow brick road, speaking like an angel. No, he faced uncertainties and challenges like us – only super-sized! And sometimes he messed up – his thoughts, words, and decisions were fallible. (He recounts his struggles in this letter, and Romans 7, Philippians 3, 2 Timothy 4.) In our text today, the Corinthians seem to think Apostle means Angel – with an inerrant divine flight path. Paul had to get up and have his daily prayers too, walking by faith, not sight! (2 Corinthians 5.7).
