We are all moved by what we see. Our emotions, thoughts, and actions are processed through by what our eyes tell us. However, our best decisions we will ever make are the ones we make when we live by faith and not sight.
I am an analytical person, I approach problems by breaking them down into small parts and using logic to understand them. But I have not always been this way. For years I made decisions based on my emotions, and feelings. But, I’ve learned a few things since then.
There are times I find myself falling back into my old ways. Especially when it comes to my children. I definitely still have that “momma protective instinct” going on.
But it is only through faith that the impossible becomes possible. And sometimes it seems completely ridiculous the things that God asks us to do. But, I can tell you I’ve never regretted anything that God asks me to do. If I had chosen to make decisions based on what I saw or my emotions I wouldn’t be where I am today. If I chose to not walk by faith, I would never have seen God’s mighty hand move in my life.
God had brought miracles to my life. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.” When we choose to see through our eyes, we limit God’s ability to do wonders. God is able to do more than what we can ever imagine.
God asks us to step out in faith because it’s only through faith that God can be glorified. If life always happened the way we expected it to happen, there wouldn’t be a need for God to do miracles. When we live by faith, our, lives become a testimony to God’s Almighty power.
God wants to do miracles in our lives, but we just step out on faith to see God move, if we continue to do things our way, how can we expect to see God’s hand?
