THE BLIND FAITH WALK
Among the the things that we hate the most in this life is the lack of control we have. We have tried to invent ways that allow us to think and feel as though we have control of what is going on; like how we spend what meager money we have on the few toys and pleasures that are around us, but that is not control...it's choice again.
When it comes to any kind of heavy duty decisions about our future we are indeed to weak to see the whole picture and so we end up following something or someone else who seems to know where they are going or what they are doing. In other words we are following trends that are set by someone whom we have never met...following ideas that we have never discussed with someone or have ever really been convinced of and are basically going along to get along in this world. In most cases in this world we could say that we are never in any real control even though control is forced into our brains day and night by the world around us.
This world is filled with psychological manipulations that lead us like the sheep that Jesus compared us to all the way through life, so why are we so against walking a blind faith walk with God? The word of God makes it pretty clear that we will love and serve either Satan or God. We will either love one and hate the other, cling to one or despise the other; but in general the whole thing always comes down to choice and not control at all. We have not been made by God to control even though He has put us in charge of the beasts of the field and the birds of the air...even though we control the dirt and grain we walk on and eat it is only through God's divine appointment that we have such control. When it comes to those things that truly effect our future how many things can you think of that do that in which you personally have control over? It is not through self provision, but through choices that we live today, and so when it comes to those choices as to whom you shall serve in a day...a week..a lifetime; who will it be?
I will be honest about my choice to walk a blind faith walk with God in charge of every moment and movement I make because I felt as though I was giving away control in my life...I felt as though I would be a puppet or less than I already was to simply walk where God told me to walk until I started to do it. I found that God was leading me out of harms way, and that my life really seemed to regain a purpose that by myself I had some how lost. I also found that the things that had held me back from seeking Him began to disappear. My blind faith walk began to prove itself not to be blind at all but with new sight not only in the choice I have been given to make , but also in the way I can see the world around me. I find that I have a greater ability to hold tightly to the things of God while at the same time letting go of that which is of this world. Of course many people around me cannot understand this because they have as yet not seen the benefit of walking a blind faith walk with God in Charge. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
