We cannot see gravity, but we know it is real. We cannot see all of the germs on our hands that could make us sick, but we know that soap and water can help us avoid illness. We cannot see love, but we live in it every day. We cannot see the wind, but we know its power.
We cannot see in the dark, but we can wander through familiar spaces without a light at night... until someone leaves an unknown obstacle in our path. That can be an unfriendly surprise.
This is my scripture for day 20 of Lent:
"For we live by believing and not by seeing." -2 Corinthians 5:7
Our Heavenly Father delights in our trust. Jesus is "The Way"; he made a way for us to be redeemed, reconciled, and ready to for eternity. He is our hope and the Holy Spirit our comforter as we walk in faith.
The world thinks faith is foolish, as the enemy puts up blinders. The enemy thrives on confusion. We can walk by faith, not by sight. He will lead us through the darkest days. We can walk in peace when our hope is certain of the things we do not see.
Today, I am grateful we can walk by faith.
