The Vision Of The Blind

Friday, August 6, 2021

During one of the hottest days of August 1959, New York City experienced a power failure. Apartment dwellers were especially hard hit. However, in the Guild for the Jewish Blind building, the blackout caused little problem. It was filled with two hundred blind workers and seventy sighted workers. When the lights went out, the seeing workers were helpless. The blind workers had no problem at all and led the seventy sighted workers down the steps and onto Broadway. There's a spiritual truth here: We are called to live not by what our eyes see, but by faith - by what we don't see. In the end, the power gets pulled from this life and everything fades to black. If you live by sight only, you'll end up overcome by the dark. But if you live by faith, then it won't matter how dark things look, for your light will continue to shine. It is written, let us walk by faith and not by sight. That which is seen is temporary - that which is unseen is eternal. Walk by faith and you'll never find yourself in a black out.rn
