Faith without Sight

I am taking care of you. Feel the warmth and security of being enveloped in My loving Presence. Every detail of your life is under My control. Moreover, everything fits into a pattern for good, to those who love Me and are called according to My design and purpose.

Because the world is in an abnormal, fallen condition, people tend to think that chance governs the universe. Events may seem to occur randomly,with little or no meaning. People who view the world this way have overlooked one basic fact: the limitations of human understanding. What you know of the world you inhabit is only the tip of the iceberg. Submerged beneath the surface of the visible world are mysteries too vast for you to comprehend. If you could only see how close I am to you and how constantly I work on your behalf, you would never again doubt that I am wonderfully caring for you. This is why you must live by faith, not by sight; trusting in My mysterious, majestic Presence.

We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. —Romans 8:28 amp

Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.” —Job 42:1–3

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. —1 Peter 5:7

We live by faith, not by sight. —2 Corinthians 5:7

When we get caught up in the quick pace of the world we tend to loose sight of Gods plan. We start to believe things are happen to us just because and then we expect God to fix it. Instead we need to trust that He has purposely placed each event in our lives. He knows every job, friend, family and problem we will have before it happens because He placed it there. The purpose of our life is to fulfill His plan and share His love while doing so.

It is hard to live by faith instead of being able to see God working through our lives. When we struggle with this it help to call out to Him. We must ask Him to show us His work and open our eyes. God will hear our calling and respond to us when He believes the timing is right. Remember nothing will happen in our time, because it is His time we are living in, and living for.
