In God, I put all my trust, in Him my faith is whole. In Him I am secure, In Him, I am healed, In him I am complete.

The concept of blind faith, I believe, is oftentimes seen as a nonsensical posture. Of one being careless in their walk with Christ. Of not operating with wisdom and discernment. Of deciding to go about life in a way contrary to performing an informed action while having faith.

There are schools of thought and interpretations associated with the concept of “blind faith” not found in the bible. Yet, as a Christian woman, I need this concept based on the person I am (one who struggles with control).

I can easily understand why these opinions would be formed, simply because of the word “blind.” Can I put my spin on things a bit?

As a Christian, I think there is a STANCE I MUST TAKE to trust in Christ and the truth. I agree we must move from an informed and sensible position but guess what; in most cases where we make decisions, the outcome is really out of our hands. In any event, and while we strive to operate from an informed position as Christian, I still believe we must rely on God. What He wants for every outcome should be our desire, and this, I believe, is doing what we must and then exercising blind faith. Blind Faith, as in, we no longer want to influence the outcome of our actions, but we truly trust in God’s plan.

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

Proverbs 16:3 (ESV)

Wisdom is being in a situation, and from Day One you talk things over with God. Then you apply reasoning (from a bible perspective) and see how things will work. You then apply this to the knowledge of what God says about you (the biblical perspective) then do your part and leave the rest to God. THAT IS MY BLIND FAITH.

Ultimately, we must not allow our knowledge and foresight to take precedence. We must allow the truth of God to, then act – then have the blind faith to trust that our outcome will be as God wants for us.

ALL THAT WE DO must come from a stance of faith and trust, and we think blind faith & blind trust. Sometimes when we do otherwise we may believe that we are still in control—that is not what we want.

I think about Esther, and even knowing the outcome of speaking with the King, she decided to go. Armed with truth and prayers along with the action of fasting, she did her part, and then with what I would like to consider blind faith, she did what she had to.

Need I say more?

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 / “The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.” Proverbs 14:15.

I believe these two verses demonstrate that blind faith (my humble definition) along with sound wisdom will work wonders in our lives.

LOTS OF LOVE & LIGHT!!!
