Faith vs Sight

A battle wages within me daily—what to believe? Should I trust only what I can see—the visibly obvious? Or can I trust what I cannot see—by faith?

I know what I can see. My actions produce tangible results endorsed by my culture—work hard and seek security. However, it results in the need to control my life and its outcomes—such pressure.

The "what I can see" approach promises what it cannot fulfill—meaning, purpose and hope for my life. If sight cannot fulfill, what can faith offer?

Can the invisible world of God, by faith, be made “visible” to me with "spiritual sight”? Stepping out in faith with Jesus opens my eyes to totally new vistas. The invisible becomes clear. Control of my life is replaced by a humble dependence on Him—sweet relief.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith...Hebrews 12:2 NIV
We live by faith, not by sight.  2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV

Will you join me seeing not only through our physical eyes but through the eyes of faith? 

Sharing the journey with you,

Bob Snyder
