We walk by faith, not by sight.

Without faith it is impossible to please Him (God).
2 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 11:6.

A few years ago the fog over the English Channel was so thick that we could not see the water around us. But our ship stayed on its course. Radar indicated what was ahead of us. The screen showed the track of a ship before us. Radar penetrated the fog, making the ship visible.

Faith is, similarly, a kind of radar that ensures security against the unknown in the clouds of our difficulties.

Faith does not argue; it simply believes what God has said. When it is a question of the creation of the universe, for example, faith recognises that the worlds cannot be the product of chance, but were created by a word from God. That gives faith assurance.

By contrast, the countless hypotheses propounded to rule out any thought of a Creator-God cause uncertainty since they contradict one another. Behind them all is the devil's intention of misleading people to distrust God and prevent them coming to any relationship with Him. Since the Garden of Eden his language has always been: "Has God indeed said ?" (Genesis 1:3).

Faith is not some form of auto-influence nor a vague feeling based on spontaneous sentiments. It is the conviction of God's existence and the truth of what He says. God has spoken, and He still speaks today by means of the Bible, and His Word is truth (cf. John 17:17).

Today's reading: Jeremiah 13:1-27 Â· Luke 22:39-46

If you are in such...More
