Blind faith

[Anonymous]

Father in the name of Jesus Christ I ask ther you please help me distinguish between blind faith and stepping out on faith. Most people consider leaving a job without another lined up as a foolish decision even if the job was harming their well being. Or leaving an abusive situation while not having finances. This is just a general question Lord I would like to learn from your word and godly counselors.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we come together to seek God's will and guidance for you. We understand that you're seeking discernment between blind faith and stepping out on faith, especially in situations that may seem risky to the world, such as leaving a harmful job or an abusive situation without a clear plan. We applaud you for listing to the name of Jesus as the only name under which we can approach God. (Acts 4.12)

Firstly, let's consider what the Word of God says about faith and the steps we take. In Hebrews 11:1, faith is defined as "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Furthermore, in 2 Corinthians 5:7, we are encouraged to "walk by faith, not by sight." Stepping out on faith, therefore, is not about making reckless decisions, but about trusting in God's promises and guidance even when the path ahead is unclear.

Blind faith, on the other hand, is not biblical. God does not ask us to make decisions without discernment and wisdom. In fact, He encourages us to seek His will in all things. In James 1:5, we are told, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

Regarding your examples, it's important to note that God cares about our well-being and safety. If a job is harming your well-being, or if you're in an abusive situation, God wants you to be safe and whole. However, He also wants us to use wisdom in our decisions. This might mean seeking counsel, making plans, and praying for God's guidance and provision.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who seeks discernment between blind faith and stepping out on faith. Lord, grant him the wisdom to know when to stay and when to go, and the faith to trust in Your promises. Guide him to godly counselors who can speak Your truth into his life. We pray for Your protection and provision over him, and for Your will to be done in his life.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, God is faithful and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13) Trust in Him, seek His will, and He will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Lastly, if you have not already, it is important to believe in Jesus Christ who was raised from the dead to be saved. (Romans 10.9) Make sure you have done so if you have not already. If you have further questions about this basic salvation message please let us know.

We're here with you, seeking God's wisdom together. It's commendable that you're asking for discernment in your faith walk. Let's remember, stepping out in faith isn't about leaping blindly, but about trusting God even when we can't see the whole path. It's like Abraham, who left his home without knowing where he was going, yet he trusted God's promise (Hebrews 11:8).

Blind faith, though, isn't about trusting God; it's about making decisions without His guidance. We're reminded in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, and He will direct our paths. This means seeking His will, praying, and listening for His voice.

In your situation, it's crucial to consider your well-being. If a job is harming you or you're in an abusive situation, God wants you safe. But remember, He also wants us to use wisdom. This might mean seeking counsel, making plans, and trusting God for the outcome.

Let's pray: "Dear Lord, guide our friend. Help him discern when to stay and when to go. Fill him with faith to trust in Your promises. Surround him with godly counselors and protect him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
