“...like the blind...we grope (feel) as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night...” We speak of “blind faith,” but faith has good eyesight; in fact, it’s 20/20. It’s when one goes by their feelings that it indicates darkness in their life.
Isaac made a terrible decision in his life when he went by feeling, because of the dimness of his eyes. And what of sightless Samson? What a sorry spectacle, as he feels (gropes) for the pillars before a laughing world.
God has given each believer spiritual eyesight. We need never to grope through our spiritual life as though we had no eyes of faith to see with. Feelings are fine as they fall in with the third rank, following the first two ranks of fact and faith.
Faith is your spiritual optic. Puritan
