Faith: Leap Into the Light

Faith: Leap Into the Light
by Sally Lloyd-Jones, Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing

Faith is believing what God says. Some people think faith is like taking a leap in the dark, that faith is blind.
 
But the Bible says it’s the opposite. Away from God we are in the dark. That’s when we are blind, stumbling around.

John Newton was a notorious slave trader — but coming to know Jesus changed him forever. He spent the rest of his life working to free slaves and wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace”:
 
“I once was blind,” he sang, “but now I see!”
 
When we come home to God it is not a leap into darkness. It is a magnificent leap into light — the light of God’s love for us! "Jesus [said], 'I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.'" — John 8:12 (KJV)

Faith is not blind! It is believing that God is who He says He is... It is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). How are you learning to have faith right now? What is God teaching you?
