A Devotional On Living By Faith (Not By Sight)
God has given each of us a vision of the life we are destined to live.
Karin Hadadan is the best-selling author of Beauty in the Stillness, which has been praised for helping readers “unravel the God self that is truly within you,” guiding them to find deeper meaning in life. Here, she emphasizes that even when life grows dark and hardens us, we must root our faith deeper and trust in our Lord to carry us to light.
When life feels uncertain and we find ourselves in darkness with no end in sight, we often lose hope that change is possible. As we navigate the unknown, we must learn to see not just with our eyes, but let our hearts reveal what remains unseen.
From God’s perspective, all timelines and connections are visible in a divine panorama—what appears as delay in our limited view is actually the perfect orchestration of countless elements aligning for our highest good.
When we maintain deep faith, our trust becomes a Divine bridge between our present circumstances and unseen possibilities, knowing that God has already arranged the fulfillment of our deepest desires.
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
A prayer to ground your faith in times of struggle:
Dear God, help me maintain the vision you’ve given me for my life, even when I don’t yet see it reflected in my reality. Grant me strength throughout my day and provide glimmers of hope that I’m on the right path. Let me surrender my need to understand your plans and instill in me a deep trust in your divine timing. Thank you for the gift of faith, and I trust with certainty that you will illuminate my darkest moments with your light and love. Amen.
