Walk by Faith and not by Sight

"Walk by Faith and not by Sight"

-Ali Maba- 

 

        In this world, many people doesn't know or even cannot explain why impossible things made possible. Can we walk on water? But obviously, scientists would say no.
 
        Reason, or Christians also called it sight, enables us to reach a logical conclusion. Through reasoning, we can say that we cannot walk on water because there is no scientific proof that this thing can really happen.

        Reason causes us to say we should not act until we have full understanding.Until all the facts are in. Yet we are worldlings, we are a people of reason and logic. We judge success by outward standards.

        In Matthew 14, it's the story of Jesus walking on the water, Simon Peter saw Jesus and realized it was unreasonable for a man to walk on surface(at first, Peter thought that it was a ghost and didn't noticed it was Jesus Christ). When Jesus said to Peter to come, he forgot about reason and enabled him to walk on water.

        Simon Peter had moved sight to faith that enabled him to walk on surface. Through faith on God, even all serious illness can be healed through the command of faith or even walk on water.

        Reason may say one cannot walk on water. But faith allows us to do the impossible. The more you walk by faith and not by sight, the less you need to understand Him. God directs your walk, your life, by divine intuition or faith.
