or Genesis 27:12 (c) Isaac did feel his son Jacob and was deceived by his feelings. (See Genesis 27:21). We should be warned by this picture against trusting in our feelings in those matters which pertain to GOD, and to faith, and to GOD's Word. We are to live and understand by faith, not by feeling.
Judges 16:26 (c) Samson felt the pillars, he realized their strength and their size, but was not dismayed by that. He believed GOD, and because of his faith he accomplished his purpose. Let us also consider every situation in life, and then look to GOD to work the necessary miracle. (See Romans 4:19).
Psalm 58:9 (b) Thorns were used to make a fire beneath the pots. They were fit for nothing but burning. The Lord is describing the suddenness with which His wrath would come upon His enemies. There would not be a gradual approach to the storm, as would be when the thorn fire gradually heats up the pot.
Acts 17:27 (a) Our Lord indicates that men are blind and therefore cannot see GOD as they should. They therefore reach out the hand of faith and find GOD by faith. Then He opens their eyes to see, and know, and understand Him.
