Faith that Sees

We’ve talked a lot about joy and hope over the past few days. And my prayer is that through sharing these stories, you’ve started to see something important... you can’t have either without faith. Joy and hope don’t stand on their own. They’re built on trust. They grow when we choose to believe God is who He says He is—especially when circumstances don’t give us much to go on.
Faith that sees shows up in ordinary moments. It looks like trusting God when the path ahead feels foggy. It’s believing He’s present when nothing is necessarily wrong, but nothing feels settled either. It’s holding onto truth when emotions try to tell a different story. Ask yourself this... do you have strong faith, or do you mostly believe once things make sense? Because faith is easy when the next step is obvious. It’s harder when God doesn’t explain Himself. When there’s no timeline. No sign. No confirmation. No arrows in neon pointing you in the right direction. You say you trust Him, but deep down are you waiting for something visible to validate that trust.
Hebrews 11:1 says, “faith show the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see." Faith isn’t about having proof—it’s about having perspective. Faith that sees doesn’t rely on visible evidence or guaranteed outcomes. It trusts God beyond what’s obvious. It believes He’s working even when nothing looks different yet. Faith that sees isn’t blind optimism; it’s spiritual clarity. It’s choosing to see God’s hand where others only see delay, confusion, or unanswered questions.
Another qustion for you... is there a road you have drove hundred times that you feel like you could drive it in your sleep? That could be the road to your house, your childhood home, or even the road to Target (no shame), but a road you know so well. Same route. Same turns. No reason to think driving it on a random Monday would be different. But what if that morning thick fog rolled in out of nowhere. You could still see, but barely past the hood of your car. You slow down, naturally. Grip the steering wheel a little tighter. Suddenly, everything felt unfamiliar, even though you technically knew the road. You can see just enough to keep moving, but not enough to feel comfortable. You can't see the next turn. You can't see the destination. You can't even see far enough ahead to feel confident. All you can do is focus on what is directly in front of you and trust that the road was still there—even if you can't see it clearly. Personally, I think this is what faith feels like, it's the image I can give.
Strong faith doesn’t demand full visibility. It moves forward with limited clarity. It trusts that God has already gone before you, even when your view is obstructed. Just because you can’t see far ahead doesn’t mean you’re off course. Just because things feel uncertain doesn’t mean God isn’t guiding you. Eventually, the fog is lifted. It always does. But it lifts slowly, not all at once. And guess what? If you had waited for perfect visibility, you would have stayed parked. Faith required movement before clarity. That’s often how God works. He doesn’t always remove the fog first. He asks us to trust Him in it. Faith that is strong isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about believing God is trustworthy even when you don’t. It’s knowing that obedience doesn’t require full understanding. Sometimes it just requires the courage to take the next step with what you can see right now.
SHE Walks in Faith
If you’re in a season where things don’t make sense yet, let that be an invitation—not to fear—but to deeper faith. God is not withholding direction; He’s strengthening your trust. Keep walking. Even slow steps count. Even foggy steps are still steps of faith.
🩷 Prayer
God, help me walk by faith and not by sight. When the path feels unclear and my heart wants certainty, remind me that You are already ahead of me. Strengthen my trust when I can only see what’s right in front of me. Give me courage to move forward even when clarity hasn’t come yet. I choose to believe You are faithful, even here. Amen.
