76Today’s Gem

Our eyesight is the number one source of stimuli to the brain. We receive 80 per cent of our information through what we see. That is why blindness is so devastating to a person’s ability to function independently. Likewise in the spirit, what we see through the eyes of faith determine our ability to navigate challenges. 2 Corinthians 5:7 tells us, “For we walk by faith and not by sight.” It is the devil’s job to keep truth hidden from you. Therefore, he blinds us with disappointment, discouragement and disarray. This is why we keep bumping into barriers in our lives—because our spiritual eyes of faith are handicapped. Do you want to please God? Then activate your faith. Release your spiritual walking stick of fear. Through your eyes of faith—see yourself free! See your future in the past tense so that it can become your now. Know this—your faith has already made you whole.
