By Faith Not Sight

By Faith Not Sight…

Good morning,

Today, let’s explore what it means to walk by faith when our eyes can only see the impossible.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.   Hebrews 11:1

Have you ever stood at the edge of the Red Sea with an army at your back? Perhaps not literally, but we’ve all faced impossible moments—the diagnosis that stole your breath, the relationship that crumbled despite your prayers, the dream that died when all signs pointed to promise.

Hebrews 11:1 isn’t just beautiful poetry; it’s battlefield wisdom. Faith isn’t wishful thinking—it’s spiritual eyesight. It sees the invisible bridge across impossible waters before the first stone appears.

Think of Abraham under desert stars, counting invisible descendants. Consider Moses lifting his staff over unconquered waters. Remember Mary cradling divinity in human flesh. None could see the full story, yet each stepped forward anyway.

This kind of faith doesn’t deny reality—it simply refuses to believe that our current reality is the final word. It whispers, “There’s more to this story than what your eyes can capture.”

Faith doesn’t eliminate the valley of shadows; it reveals the Shepherd walking beside us through it. It doesn’t immediately answer every “why,” but it anchors us to the One who holds every “what next.”

Today, in your impossible place, remember: the unseen is where God does His most defining work.

Dear Lord, Sometimes, it’s so hard to trust when I can’t see what’s ahead. My heart knows You’re faithful, but my eyes get fixed on the problems that seem too big. Help me remember the times You’ve come through before. When doubts creep in, remind me that You’re already working in ways I can’t see yet. Give me the courage to take that next step, even when the path looks unclear. I want to be someone whose faith makes You smile. Hold my hand today as I choose to trust You more. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
