2 Corinthians 5:7 - We live by faith

We live by faith, not by sight

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Our sight guides us every day. If your sight wasn't leading the way, would you still know where you were, who was with you, and what you were doing?

Absolutely! You would have other senses until the Lord restored your sight. Those who have lost their sight have reported other senses becoming heightened over time. Think of living by faith and not by sight as a sharpening of your other senses.

Hearing lets you know the great works he has done in other's lives. Touch lets you hold your child and feel the love of our Creator. Smell lets you inhale the sweet outdoors, knowing the peace of God.

For we live by Faith, not by Sight. Until one sweet day.

Hebrews 11:1 - Being certain of what we do not see

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

St. Augustine said "Faith is to believe what you do not yet see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe."

Day to day we wrestle with our faith in the Almighty. Oh the struggle instead of the sweet surrender.

Faith is the conviction that what God says is true and that what He promises will come to fruition. True faith is based on what God says, us believing, and is demonstrated in our obedience.

One magnificent day we will see what we hoped for and what we did not see on this Earth. And in that moment our faith will be rewarded. What a glorious day that will be, Amen? Amen.

When you struggle with your faith, surrender, and think of that glorious day. For what we do not see is far greater than anything we do see.
