When one walks by faith and not by sight, such isn't necessarily an easy stroll. Faith takes a person into a very weird zone. The flesh likes to be boss. The spirit will not agree with the flesh. Thus a perpetual battle engages.
When one moves in spiritual leadership it is not unusual to be out on a limb with no tree attached. The limb suspends alone and there we sit. When this goes on, either God is there or He is not. Our calculation was to have determined He is there ahead of time.
Walking by faith is not for the silly, nor the cowardly, nor the fleshly. It is for the assurance-filled that God knows how to both protect and provide.
The flesh will cry out for calculation, explanation, and organization. The spirit will trust. "Blind faith", you charge? Friend, there is no "sight faith". We walk by faith...not by sight. We are out on a limb committed to God. With Him we fall or soar...but we are with Him in His mystery operating on His timing.
We often find ourselves out on a limb...with no tree connected for security.
