The Eyes of Faith

We live by faith and not by sight.

—2 Corinthians 5:7

Edward Teller is known for this wise saying . . . "When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."

Sometimes your steps are uncertain. You feel like you're walking in the dark and waiting for God to give you a flashlight. Like a person in dense fog, you progress, get to the next spot, and notice that you can actually see just a little bit of the road ahead. You walk in the fog with faith.

When we're blinded by the fog that life can sometimes bring, it helps to remember these words from Helen Keller: "If the blind put their hand in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith nor purpose."

God wants to walk with you and be your vision, your sight. He alone knows the path so well that he can keep your feet from stumbling. Today as you step into the world, ask him to come alongside you, to direct your steps and be your eyes. You can walk blindly, or you can walk with the eyes of faith, knowing that each step leads you where your Father would have you go.

In the Flow

Lord, be with me today as I go about my business. Sometimes I think I know exactly where I'm going and sometimes I don't. Either way, I want to put my life in your hands, safe in faith. Amen.
