Trusting God beyond what we see

One of the cliches of our faith that we hear many times is "We walk by faith and NOT by sight". Although this is a truth for us all to appreciate, I often find myself struggling with what I see when it comes to making spiritual decisions. I can see that I don't have enough money for something I believe God is wanting to bless me with. I can see that the resources that I do have are not enough for the work that God is requiring of me.

There are other challenges that we all face in life that require us to go beyond what we see and trust God despite what we see. What I have learned however, is that true faith causes us to see things the way the God wants us to see them and we begin to trust God because we can really SEE what he is up to. This is what makes prayer so powerful. Prayer does not change God, it changes us! Prayer causes our vision to become different so that we can see what God is up to and join him in it. My prayer for us all this week is that our perception grow to a point where we can see things the way God sees them and trust him in the process of His work in our lives.

I am looking forward to testimonies of INCREASE, not just based on actual manifestations, but increase because our perceptions have changed and we see things they way God sees them.
