In Star Wars: A New Hope, there was a defining moment during the infamous “trench run” on the Death Star when Obi-Wan Kenobi instructed Luke to let go of what he thought he needed to fulfill his mission (the onboard targeting system) and reach out through the force instead. While these tools were intended to help him, Luke’s reliance on them was hindering him from achieving his goals because they restricted his sight to what was visible in the physical realm. It was only when Luke shut them down and placed his faith in what he couldn’t physically see that his path to victory finally became possible.

Walking by faith is more than simply trusting in the Lord to do His part… it means consciously letting go of all of our perceived limitations and closing down anything in our lives that tempts us to lean on our own understanding instead of His. The Lord has promised to supply every one of our needs, but many times His provision isn’t fully revealed to us until we’ve removed all of those distractions and stopped depending on our own capabilities for the answers to our prayers. Let’s allow the Lord to guide us in all we do today, even if we can’t see how it will all work out from our vantage point. Belief doesn’t transform into faith until we choose to close our eyes, let go of what we see, and follow His voice.

We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Hebrews 11:1-3
