Walking Blind

“Walking Blind”

“We walk by faith, not by sight.” (II. Cor. 5: 7)

The above verse says we are to “walk by faith.” Where does faith come from?

In Romans 10:17 it says, “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through hearing the word of God.”

Faith isn’t something we “muster up” within ourselves if we close our eyes and think real hard. Faith comes when we hear the word of God! We believe that we can “take God at His word!”

So if we walk by faith we aren’t looking through our natural eyes but through our spiritual eyes. Our natural eyes can’t see (blind) what faith can see! Natural eyes can only see the problem and not the outcome or solution! Natural eyes only see the circumstances and what appears to be a “victory” by the enemy, the devil. Faith sees what the natural cannot!

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)

What are you hoping for and certain of that you yet cannot see? Your healing? Your deliverance? Your victory? A promise? The salvation of your loved ones?

You see faith is not just believing but acting upon what you believe! Salvation, Healing, and Deliverance comes from acting on your faith! Taking God at His word!

In Matthew 9 two blind men begged Jesus for their sight and when Jesus asked them, “Do you believe I’m able to do this?” The blind men answered, “Yes Lord.” Jesus said, “According to your faith will it be done to you”; and their sight was restored.

So what happens when you have faith for someone to be saved, healed, or delivered and they don’t? Does that mean you didn’t have enough faith? No, it should simply mean no matter what happens, you don’t lose faith!

The Bible says in Romans 1:17 “The righteous will live by faith.” The word also tells us in Psalm 119:105 that “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”

Sometimes we cannot see the “big picture.” The Psalmist says your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path.” Sometimes we tend to think it is a spotlight for our path and a total laid out map for our future. Sometimes God only gives us a “step at a time.” But as we walk in faith trusting in His word that guides us “one step at a time” (lamp unto our feet and a light for our path) He will lead the way.

May our Lord increase our faith as we trust blindly in Him! For He and His word alone are the only source that we can fully trust to follow “blindly” after!

The word of our Lord!
