Blind Faith

Sometimes I catch myself trying to cheat in life.  Maybe cheat isn't the best word, "sneak peek" might describe it better.  I'll pray that God open doors and guide me to the next destination on our path.  So He does, He leads me right to the door which is standing wide open.  But what's on the other side of the door? 5 inches.  That's it.  There is nothing but 5 inches standing in front of me.  Where will 5 inches take me?  What could actually happen within 5 inches?  So I stand there.  Waiting.  Watching the path, wondering when it will grow and if 5 inches could possibly be worth taking.  I spend most of my time straining my eyes to see what's past the 5 inches.  It is quite clear that I am incapable of seeing past what's in front of me but I try and try.  With futile attempts at catching a glimpse of where this path leads I finally decide the 5 inches may be worth my time.  One step is all I can take with what space I have.  But what I see within that step is worth a thousands steps at one time.  What's truly on the other side of the door is another door.  But that is all I need to know, the path is still there and God has more ahead.
I'm finding that following God's path in blind faith generally means taking one step at a time.  Those rare moments of taking leaps are beautiful and to be cherished but squeeze every bit out of those small steps that you can.  God has a brilliant plan for each of us and to hesitate (especially doubting the worth of the step) would be to deny the blessing He has for you and those around you.
