Wearing a Blindfold and Running

There’s a song by Elyssa Smith that was released last month called “I Won’t Break.” Some of the lyrics to that song are: “To live by faith and not by sight is like wearing a blindfold and running.” As the disciples followed Jesus during His earthly ministry, this must have been what it felt like at times. Having left their lives of fishing and tax collecting behind, they entered into something brand new. It probably felt scary and disorienting at times; yet, He had called them. There was this sense of awe and wonder as they followed Jesus and experienced the coming of the Kingdom of God. What does it look like for you today as you follow Jesus? What does it look like when your dreams and God’s story collide? You are called. You are forgiven. You are loved. Shine on.
