Blind Faith Versus Binding Faith

Many equate blind faith as the most challenging aspect of believing in God and all His promises. Not me. I wonder if binding faith might be overlooked as focus seems automatically given to blind faith.

Blind faith entails holding steadfast belief in Who and what can not be seen. Binding faith encompasses solid union no matter what we see. Is it easier to hold belief in what we hope for but can not see, or to remain firmly attached to our faith when visions surrounding us appear beyond our hope?

For me, the easier is to blindly believe in what I can not see. Not releasing my binding faith that God’s Hand can restore and save all that I see around me is my most challenging creed.

The glue that keeps my faith tightly bound is adhering to Lamentations 3: 21-23 (NIV). “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
