Your
guiding grace afford, teach me your way!
Help
me to walk aright, more by faith, less by sight;
lead
me with heavenly light, teach me your way.
---B. Mansell Ramsey, 1919
More by faith, less by sight. Is there anything we humans like less than not seeing? Whether it is a
fear of the dark, the panic of a blindfold, or the frustration of low vision or
driving through a pounding rainstorm, not seeing can leave us feeling helpless,
and hopeless. Yet in scripture we are instructed to ‘walk by faith
and not by sight.’ Could anything take us
out of our comfort zone faster?
How might our lives change if we walked less by sight and
more by faith? Would our decision-making process change? What judgments might
we forgo, or at least suspend?
Would we experience others’ needs and problems in a different light?
Would our dependence on God make us weak…or would it make us strong?
