Is Seeing Believing?

A farmer looks at parched ground and sees a plentiful crop. An artist looks at a blank canvass and sees a masterpiece. A fisherman looks out over the vast ocean and sees a bountiful catch.

Is seeing believing? If you want to succeed, flip the script. Saint Augustine said, "Faith is believing what you do not see. The reward of faith is to see what you believe."

Believe! Then watch the Lord work His miracle in your life! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things NOT SEEN!" (Hebrews 11:1)
