Just because we can\u2019t see something doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not there. Just ask any blind person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helen Keller once said, \u201cThe best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.\u201d As a blind person, she should know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, sometimes it\u2019s difficult to see God behind the scenes when we go through trials, but God is always near to those who call on Him (Psalm 145:18-20). God hears our prayers. God saves us. God love us. God cares for us. And God will deliver us from afflictions, according to His perfect timing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Syrian armies surrounded Israel, Elijah\u2019s servant was afraid and asked, \u201cMaster, what shall we do?\u201d Elijah said, \u201cDo not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.\u201d Then he prayed and asked God to open the eyes of his servant so he could see what was invisible to the human eye. God\u2019s power and might! When God opened the servant\u2019s eyes, he saw God\u2019s army of horses and chariots of fire all around. Guess who won that battle? Ironically, the Syrian armies were struck with blindness (2 Kings 6:14-17).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tend to think with a limited scope, but God\u2019s power is limitless. On cloudy days, we may not see the sun but it\u2019s definitely there. Remember that just because we can\u2019t see something doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is
seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” ~2 Corinthians 4:18<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
