The Eye of Faith

Hebrews 11:1
Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see.

Have you ever heard the term “blind faith”? There are some who think faith is blind in the sense that we have to sit back, do nothing, and just believe somehow God will make everything right, and therefore I just need to walk in blind faith. But faith is far from blind. In fact, the above scripture clearly states that faith convinces us of the existence of things that are not yet seen by the natural eye. If they exist there is a way to see those things. You do so with the eye of faith.

We know faith is based on one thing — what God has said. When God told Abraham he was a father of a multitude he was told to look at the stars of heaven and the sand beneath his feet, and in doing so he could see with the eye of faith what God had said He had already made him, a father of a many nations. Romans 4:19 tells us that he was not weak in faith, not considering (looking at) his natural body, but instead focusing on what God had said was already his.

Today we have God’s Word that we can look to and therefore see with our own eyes what God has said we already have based on what Jesus has done for us. We then focus on what we can see, the Word of God, and then like Abraham and God, we begin to call those things which do not yet exist in the natural as though they did (Rom. 4:17), for what God has said is the evidence of what already exists. With faith in our God through relationship with Him we base our faith on what He has said, convinced in our heart that it is already so.
