"We walk by faith and not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5.7

A blind man with a guide dog "walks by faith" in his animal. He believes that the vision of the dog will be transmitted to him in signals that will allow him to head. He records these signals by holding the dog's harness.

God has already planned everything for your future ...

Why does he trust the dog ? Because he has something he does not have : sight. It is the same between you and God.

Today you may not be able to see where God is taking you. The blind man must hold the harness to keep in touch with his guide. Perhaps he was astonished : "Why stay so long at this crossroads ?" Because there is traffic and it protects us from an invisible danger.

God said : "I will cause the blind to walk on a path that they did not know, I will lead them by paths that they did not know, and I will change the darkness into light and the tortuous places on flat ground before them. That which I will do, and I will not forsake them "(Isaiah 42:16).

God has already planned everything for your future, even if you have not yet experienced it. As he works out of time, he is not bound by our limits.

Paul writes, "I ask him to open the eyes of your understanding so that you may know the hope that he has given you by calling you ... You will know the extraordinary power that God has shown for us Who believe in him, and his power and strength, God showed them in Christ when he awakened him from death, when he made him sit on his right hand in heaven" (Ephesians 1: 18-20).

Action for Today

Trust "blindly" to your God and walk by faith.
