Faith or Sight?
2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "We live by faith, not by sight."
But how many of us really do that? Do you always need God to spell out every step of your journey before you take the first step? Do you always need God to provide you with a detailled road map before you join Him on the journey? Too many of us act that way. Too many of us refuse to join God in His work in this world, unless He gives us all the details beforehand. We want to know the end of the story before we even open the book.
But that's not how God operates. He wants us to be willing to take a first step out in faith - and not by sight - and then He will direct our paths the rest of the way. God won't ever leave you or forsake you on your journey, but He does want you to take the first step, in obedience and faith.
Are you willing to do it?
