“While we might not be in the same natural predicaments as ancient Israel, we, too, can be tempted to abandon faith in favor of more pragmatic things. It’s certainly easier, naturally speaking, when we can see the object of our devotion and the source of our salvation.

Yet, God has tasked us with walking by faith, not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7; see also Heb. 11:1).

Perhaps then, we ought to trust Him, even when, and especially when we cannot see. He is the God of dead-raising power. Nothing is too hard for Him. He might be invisible—but for Him, nothing is impossible.”
