Why is it so hard? The question is honest, often asked and rarely answered, especially in dark times.I have often thought our response to life would change, if, we could physically see the presence of God as we travel life's path. I am convinced we would not only have more faith, but more hope and peace, especially in the hard times. We would not give up, but press forward with energy, courage, and anticipation.
Consider.
Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely (I Corinthians 13:12, NLT).And.
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1, NIV).There would be a startling clarity today, if, we could see everything, as it says I Corinthians 13:12, completely. But. God gives eyes of faith to see what we need to see. Even so. It is downright difficult to see in faith when life gets hard. The thing is . . . fear of the darkness of circumstances . . blinds us from seeing in faith.
Simple as it seems, to see more in life we must let go of our fear.
Look again. Surrender any fear you have. Ask God to give you eyes to see He is present and at work on your behalf.
Learning to Kickstart the day with eyes of faith,
