Faith or common-sense?

"Every time you venture out in the life in faith, you will find something in your common-sense circumstances that flatly contradicts your faith. Common-sense is not faith and faith is not common-sense; they stand in relation to the natural and the spiritual. Can you trust Jesus Christ where your common-sense cannot trust Him? Can you venture heroically on Jesus Christ's statements when the facts of your common-sense life shout - 'It's a lie?'...

Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams He will not stand by us."
- Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, August 29
