Daily Devotional - Seeing Beyond What Is: The Vision - Week 47 - Day 319 - 11/15/26 - "Believing Is Seeing"

Author: Evangelist Jamie Hoffman

“Believing Is Seeing”
 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9
 
“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entereth into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
 
Devotion:
Today’s Scripture is a familiar one. When we hear it, we get excited about it because it lets us know God has great things prepared for those of us who faithfully love and serve Him. When we repent of our sins and accept Jesus into our hearts, we put our faith and trust in Him. Many times, we hear the cliché “seeing is believing.” However, for those of us who place our faith in God, we know that “believing is seeing.” When Jesus knocked on the doors of our hearts, we repented, welcomed Him, and received the gift of the Holy Spirit, which opened our spiritual eyes. Once God opens your spiritual eyes and you deepen your relationship with Him and grow in His grace, nothing can make you doubt Him.

In today’s Scripture, Paul is letting the people of God know that the wisdom of God comes through revelation from the Holy Spirit and not natural ability. We live in a time when people are so distracted by the prince of the air and all of his lies, evil, and deception that they lack time to focus on the redeeming grace of the Prince of Peace.

Therefore, we must continue to pray and intercede that God opens the eyes of their hearts so that they can see Him and come into relationship with Him. Believing in God is true sight, and without Him we are blind.

Prayer:
Lord, help me see with my spiritual eyes and not my natural eyes. Help my faith grow daily. I trust and rely on You, and I submit to the purpose and plan You have for my life. Help me intercede for others so they will come to know and serve You. Amen.
