The Blackout of The Blind

Thursday, December 5, 2024

In the heat wave of 1959, New York City, experienced a power failure. People found themselves without air conditioners or lights. Those on upper floors found themselves without lights or elevators. However, in one of those buildings, the blackout didn’t cause as many problems. It was the Guild for the Jewish Blind. The building was filled with 200 blind employees and 70 sighted employees. When the lights went out, the sighted workers were helpless, but the blind workers had no problem at all. So the blind workers who knew every inch of the building without sight led the helpless sighted workers down the steps and onto Broadway. There’s a profound truth in this. The Scriptures tell us to live not by our eyes, but by faith and not by sight. If you live by sight, you’ll end up lost, helpless and overcome by the dark. But, if you live by faith and not by sight, then it won’t matter how dark things around you become because your light will never be turned off. So walk by faith, and you’ll never find yourself in a blackout.

From Message #928 – Raging Faith 
Scripture: Ephesians 5:8
