Blind Faith
People who are fully surrendered to God have no fear. There is complete trust that even though they don’t understand “why,” they have faith that God knows what He’s doing. Story after story in the Bible tells of people who surrendered to God with “blind faith” and, in the end, saw wonderful results. Even though she had never been intimate with a man, the Virgin Mary believed the angel when He told her that she would have a baby. Abraham followed God’s direction although it was impossible for him to understand why God would ask him to kill his own son. Despite his broken heart, Joseph trusted God’s plan for him, never questioning why he had to suffer one abuse after another. Hannah patiently waited on God’s perfect timing when told she would conceive a child. The stories go on and on, and throughout each one, God’s glory shined. The Bible also tells the stories of people who didn’t put their faith in God. The Israelites suffered in the wilderness for forty years all because they couldn’t see God’s plan for them and didn’t trust Him enough to know that He would take care of them. Instead, they judged every situation by looking back at their past experience, and even begged to go back to Egypt where they had been slaves and suffered terrible abuse. Don’t look to your past for answers–it has nothing new to tell you! Keep pressing forward, trusting God to lead you each step of the way. There’s simply no One better to trust than Jesus! Text: Hebrews 11:1-2, Psalm 55:22, Isaiah 43:18-19, Proverbs 29:25

Bible Texts:
Hebrews 11:1-2 NKJV - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 

Psalm 55:22 NKJV - Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. 

Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV - "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert."

Proverbs 29:25 NKJV - The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.
