Day 1: By Faith We See

Faith shows us the reality of what we hope for—it's the evidence of things we cannot see. Like the universe formed at God's command, our spiritual understanding doesn't come from what's visible but from trusting God's revelation. True faith isn't blind or foolish; it's built on what we already know about God's faithfulness and extends to what is yet to come. Just as we gain understanding through our physical senses, we gain spiritual understanding through God himself, received by faith. When life's circumstances cloud your vision, remember that faith helps you see beyond the temporary to the eternal promises of God. Ask God today to open your spiritual eyes to see His truth more clearly, even when your physical circumstances suggest otherwise.

Reflection Questions:

- What are some areas in your life where your physical circumstances are clouding your spiritual vision?

- How has God shown Himself to be faithful to you in the past? How can those experiences fuel your faith for the future?

Application Points:

- Spend time in prayer asking God to open your spiritual eyes to see beyond your current circumstances.

- Make a list of God's promises that speak to your current challenges and meditate on them throughout the day.
