Walking by Faith, Not by Sight
By S. S. Times
It is no sign that a way is good because we see it clear before us. It is no sign that a way is bad because we do not see that it is clear. "As soon as I see my way clear," says one, "I will proceed." "I wanted to do that," says another, "but I couldn't quite see my way clear." But we forget that God does not always wish us to see our way clear. He wants us to walk by faith, rather than by sight. He sometimes permits us to see our way clear, that we may walk in it, and find out for ourselves that our way is not a good way. But at other times he obstructs our way, or dims our vision, that we may turn from our way to his way, and therefore from sight walking to faith walking. The great question is, Is it our way, or God's way? Is it sight that we are depending upon, or is it faith? —S. S. Times.
