What we see in this life can be alarming. I have seen things in this life that I wish I could wipe from my memory, like coming upon a serious car accident, but I cannot.
What I see every night on the news is full of pain and suffering. People’s lives both here and abroad are being totally devastated by anger, revenge, lust, and pride.
So, how do we live in a world like this, without becoming totally depressed or totally hardened? God has shown us the way. He has given to us a special pair of glasses that lets us see the unseen. That special pair of glasses is called faith.
Faith is a powerful tool God has given us to help us on our journey. It allows us to see into the future. Whatever we are going through in the moment is nothing compared to what awaits us for eternity.
Not only does faith give us the ability to see into the future. It gives us the ability to move mountains here on earth in this life. In other words, when we pray, we are to pray in faith and God will grant our request.
None of us would want to lose our sight. I get that. But there is something more beneficial than sight for us to possess. That is Faith. Faith is the ability to take God at His word and act accordingly.
“For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV
