📖 Verse of the Day

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Reflection:

I used to think "walking by faith" meant being spiritually mystical—closing my eyes during worship, feeling God's presence, having supernatural peace. Then life punched me in the gut, and I realized faith has nothing to do with feeling spiritual.

Paul wrote these words while his body was literally breaking down. He had some unnamed affliction, beatings, shipwrecks. His sight showed him failure—churches splitting, friends betraying, prison walls. But faith? Faith remembered a risen Christ on the Damascus road.

That's the thing about sight—it's a terrible judge of reality. Sight says your prodigal isn't coming home. Sight says the diagnosis is final. Sight says you're too old, too young, too broken, too ordinary to matter. Sight counts the bank balance and panics. Sight watches the news and despairs.

But faith knows something sight doesn't. Faith remembers that graves open. That seas part. That widows' oil doesn't run out. Faith isn't pretending things are fine—it's knowing that what we see is temporary, but what we can't see is eternal.

Today, your sight might be showing you impossibility. Good. That's exactly where faith does its best work.

Ask Yourself:

  • What is sight telling me that faith needs to argue with today?

  • What has God done before that I need to remember right now?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear God,

I know I say I trust You, but I'm terrible at walking blind. I want to see the whole staircase before I take the first step. I need guarantees before I surrender. But Your Word reminds me that faith means following You even when I can't see where we're going.

Today, I surrender my desperate need for certainty. The future I can't figure out, the answers that haven't come—I place them in Your hands.

Help me remember that even when I can't see Your hand, You're still holding mine. I choose to trust You.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
