21 Days of Prayer & Fasting: Day 7
21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
Day 7 - Is seeing believing or is believing seeing?
Science tells us that seeing is believing. However, when it comes to faith, we begin to see when we START believing. Simply put, 2 Cor 5:7 says, “we walk by faith, not by sight.” What Paul shares here is that we gain the spiritual sight we need through a saving faith. Hebrews 12:2 says we “fix our eyes on Jesus,” and our eyes of faith will be opened. To see through the eyes of faith is to view the world with an expectation that Jesus is in control, and He will orchestrate every event in our lives according to His perfect will.
It’s hard to take a step of faith when you can’t see past what’s directly in front of you. We typically like all of our steps ordered and planned out. Where might God be challenging you to take a step of faith- not knowing all the answers? So that you will rely fully on him every step of the way!
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to turn my eyes upon You each and every day. I believe You are my Lord, Savior, and Overseer of everything in my life. I believe, therefore, I can wait expectantly for all the wonderful things you will show me, as I walk daily with You. Help me to be obedient to the steps you are asking me to take, even if I don’t have all of the answers. Amen.
