For we walk by faith, not by sight. — 2 Cor 5:7 BSB

There are heavenly songs that have the power to break down walls and dissolve mountains of difficulty. The praise of Paul and Silas burst the chains in the Philippian jail. Jehoshaphat’s choir sent the armies of the Ammonites fleeing. And the song of faith can scatter our enemies and lift our weary hearts into strength and victory.

Is it a dark time for you? A season of barrenness and gloom? Remember, these are God’s chosen times to teach us faith. Beneath the surface, He is preparing a harvest of unimaginable fruit. Winter will not last forever; night will give way to morning. When spring arrives, we will be glad that we trusted Him in the dark, and we will rejoice in the harvest our faith had already claimed.

Lord, help me to believe when I cannot see and to trust You more through every trial.
