Faith is easy when one or more of our senses support us. In others words you can see, hear, touch, or smell what we are putting of faith in i.e. The chair is large and sturdy enough to support your weight. Its like being to kind to those who are kind to us. But Faith into things unseen demands all of you. It means having maybe only an assurance that what you are doing is right. Where your being led is right for you. The word says 'My Sheep Know my voice.' Blind Faith means knowing and recognising his voice in the midst of a storm, in a massive crowd or in the stillness. If we were able to find the answers through affirmations and comfirmations all the time we wouldn't need God. Likewise, how would he be able to reveal himself as God to us in a way that was unique and personal and no one else could understand. It is through these times our love for him deepens and knowledge of him grows because we have our testimonies of his goodness and faithfulness. Interesting.

Bastien Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:49:57 +0000 http://www.inspiks.com/?p=193#comment-401 Thanks for highlighting this topic. Sometimes we think we should be able to explain everything to believe in God, but true faith, sometimes doesn't work that way. I guess that's why Jesus said "... blessed are those who believe but have not seen" The Bible describe true faith as , ... the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1 I do agree with you, it's not blind faith as some would explain it, one without evidence or substance. It's blindness with evidence and substance. It's like a blind guy I saw on TV that clicks his tongue and uses the reflected sound to figure out what's in the way. While being interviewed, he passed by a large garbage can and told the reporter what it was, then kicked it and told the reporter, "yes, that's a garbage can" - the reporter seemed shocked and asked, how did you do that!!. This blind guy could even take part in a pillow fight and all or most of his throws would hit perfectly. The blind guy can also play video games. That's similar to blind faith, we can't see God with our eyes yet but, all the evidence of Him is around us, even when someone tells us that He does not exist, even when we can't fully explain Him - we still believe and won't allow Him or any circumstance to explained Him away - we know He is, as He said He is, even if things aren't going our way.
