Sometimes the path narrows to a ledge and the clouds close in, and all we can do is hold on and take the next step. This week we explore what it means to walk by faith, not by sight.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as 'the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' How does Much-Afraid's journey through the mist and along the precipice illustrate this definition in a concrete, physical way?
2.Walking along a precipice requires placing your full weight on the path even when you cannot see what is below. How does genuine faith differ from optimism, positive thinking, or simply 'hoping things will work out'?
3.In the mist, Much-Afraid can no longer see the High Places or even the Shepherd clearly — she can only hear His voice. Have you experienced a season where you could not see God's hand but could still hear (or sense) His voice? What kept you moving?
a.What forms did that 'voice' take — Scripture, prayer, community, a sense of peace?
b.What did you do when even His voice seemed faint?
