I love your way with words and the awesome insight that God has given you. I have found what you said to be so true in my own leadership career. Blessings
YES, our spiritual walk is by faith!! There's not much in the Bible that is logical, is there? Yet I have so many "Christian" friends that try to walk this walk by logic & reasoning and wonder where this "life to the full" comes in to play?? And I wonder, if they don't have faith for each day, how do they have faith for eternity??
Excellent article, great points!
Thank you!
Good to "see" you're back in the saddle writing again. Missed your shared thoughts lately.
Great insight Jon. I’m blessed by your courage to engage Victory into the journey of blindness- walking in faith! Plagued by acute insecurities most of my life, it deceived me into consistently jumping to conclusions and presumptuousness, making foolish decisions, all driven by the fear of failure and rejection. In order to save me from myself, the Heavenly Father’s love had to arrest me into a spiritual walk of blindness too. He had to lead me into a place of total blindness-into total dependence on Him. Surrendering to a walk of blindness was the biggest challenge of my walk with Jesus. Now that I’m understanding it and trusting the Father in it, it’s pure shalom. A peace that passes all understanding. I’ve been uncoupled from the fear of failure and rejection in the process. Presumptuousness and jumping to conclusions influence on me has been profoundly diminished. God’s love for me has become a profound reality in being led into this place of trusting His love and goodness cultivated in the journey of blindness.
“true vision in leadership is not about seeing the path clearly but trusting in God to lead the way. “ A great reminder to all that Gods way is for the believer the ONLY way :-)
“If God chooses to guide the blind, then embracing our blindness might just be the path to true leadership.” Love this. As I was reading this today my thoughts went to His “still, small voice” that I believe He wants us to listen for consistently. But, when I depend on my sight, meaning proof from past of what works as well as what I can see in front of me, I’m not always following Him right? He’s a God who never healed the same way twice through Jesus, why would He want us to follow what’s worked instead of hearing what will work now? Embracing our blindness seems like the only way to actually do His will. 🤔 Definitely some things to ponder, thank you for sharing!

Blessings,
I am reminded of that sermon about "digging a valley full of ditches." I loved that sermon and I've been reminded of it often.
