「亚伯拉罕因着信，蒙召的时候，就遵命出去...；他出去了，还不知道往那里去。」－希伯来书11:8

这就是不凭眼见的信心。
当眼睛看见时，就不再是信心，而是理智的推论。
好像一艘横越大西洋的船只，海面上看不见一条铺好的路，四周也没有海岸的踪迹；然而日复一日，我们却能照着航海图上标出的航线，照着图上粉笔线的路径航行向前。
当轮船终于开至岸边不到20哩，我们就晓得；其实早在离岸三千哩前，我们就见到了这一切。
我们如何能测量、标示我们的航线呢？我们的船长日夜手持着工具，抬头望着太阳，准确的标示他的航道。他的观测是根据属天之光，并非来自属地之光。
信心照样也望着天，根据神的日头航向前。
尽管路上不见绵延的海岸线，地面的灯塔，也没有平直的道路；尽管信心的脚步，似乎步步领我们走向不安定、不熟悉，甚至黑暗和危险的区域。但是神必会为我开路，使午夜的暗沉成为通往白昼之门。
让我们今日就向前行吧；步步犹疑，却步步相信。－属天的日子

"He went out, not knowing whither he went" (Heb. 11:9).

It is faith without sight. When we can see, it is not faith, but reasoning. In crossing the Atlantic we observed this very principle of faith. We saw no path upon the sea, nor sign of the shore. And yet day by day we were marking our path upon the chart as exactly as if there had followed us a great chalk line upon the sea. And when we came within twenty miles of land, we knew where we were as exactly as if we had seen it all three thousand miles ahead.

How had we measured and marked our course? Day by day our captain had taken his instruments and, looking up to the sky, had fixed his course by the sun. He was sailing by the heavenly, not the earthly lights.

So faith looks up and sails on, by God's great Sun, not seeing one shore line or earthly lighthouse or path upon the way. Often its steps seem to lead into utter uncertainty, and even darkness and disaster; but He opens the way, and often makes such midnight hours the very gates of day. Let us go forth this day, not knowing, but trusting.--Days of Heaven upon Earth
