Is faith spelled R-I-S-K? Is it a jump into the dark? Not biblical faith! Rather faith is seeing the Light, and following it. Faith is Clear Vision, seeing beyond the limitations of your fallen human sight, to the Light of God’s Word. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word." Faith is hearing the truth of Scripture and the Holy Spirit speaking to your heart, "That is true," and you completely believing and obeying Him.
Doubt is trusting your own eyes that have been darkened, rather than the sight of the One who sees all. Presumption is believing any foolish thing out there, that you thought you heard somewhere, jumping into the dark. Faith is believing and obeying His Word.
"I once was blind, but now I see" - yet still have SO much for my eyes to be opened to —
Praise God for eternity for my eyes to be opened to His Truth.
