Those who "walk by sight" deal with suffering - a stark despair. If our perspective is strictly one that demands for justice and equity in this life, we will be like Asaph, whose "steps had almost slipped" as he "saw the prosperity of the wicked" (Psalm 73:2-3) . All of us have wondered why the wicked seem to prosper while those of us trying to do what is right suffer so much. Our faith will falter like Asaph's if we try to answer this dilemma from a strictly worldly point of view. If we will "walk by faith," though, we will face suffering with hope. Paul was no foolish visionary. With grim realism, he came to grips with all he had suffered (2 Corinthians 11:24-28). But the reason he did not despair is found in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18: "Therefore we do not lose heart . . . for momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory . . . while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen." Paul was hopeful in the face of suffering because his sights were set on heaven, not on this world. The Bible challenges us to "walk by faith, not by sight." This task is as unnatural as walking with our eyes closed. But the more steps we take, the more comfortable this walk will be come, and the more confident we will be of the destination of our walk. And ultimately that's what faith is all about - it is "the assurance of things hoped for" (Hebrews 11:1). Author Unknown | Message Received #ByFaith #NBS 🙏
