How to have faith in what "the eyes did not see"

"But as it is written, what no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human heart has conceived, God has prepared these things for those who love him." - 1 Corinthians 2: 9
As believers of the Christian faith, we are taught to place our hope in God for the outcome of our life. No matter what trials and tribulations we face in life, we are encouraged to keep the faith and wait patiently for God's deliverance. Psalm 13 is a fine example of God's deliverance from pain. Just like the author of this passage, David, our circumstances can lead us to question God. Sometimes we may even wonder if he is really on our side. However, when we choose to wait for the Lord, in time, we see that He not only keeps His promises, but uses all things for our good. In this life or the next.

Waiting is a challenge though, not knowing God's timing, or what the "best" will be like. This not knowing is what truly tests our faith. How is God going to work things out this time? Paul's words in 1 Corinthians answer this question without actually telling us God's plan. The passage clarifies two key ideas about God: No one can tell you the full extent of God's plan for your life,
and neither will you ever know God's complete plan. But what we do know is that something good is on the horizon. The phrase "the eyes have not seen" indicates that no one, including yourself, can visibly see God's plans before they are realized. This is a literal and metaphorical interpretation. Part of the reason God's ways are mysterious is because it doesn't communicate all the intricate details of our life. It doesn't always tell us step by step how to solve a problem. Or how to readily realize our aspirations. Both take time and we often learn in life as we progress. God reveals new information only when it is given and not in advance. As inconvenient as it is, we know that trials are necessary to build our faith (Romans 5: 3-5). If we knew everything outlined for our life, we would not need to trust God's plan. Keeping ourselves in the dark leads us to rely more on Him. Where does the phrase “The eyes have not seen” come from?
The Apostle Paul, the writer of 1 Corinthians, gives his proclamation of the Holy Spirit to the people in the Corinthian Church. Before the ninth verse in which he uses the phrase "the eyes have not seen," Paul makes it clear that there is a difference between the wisdom that men claim to have and the wisdom that comes from God. Paul views God's wisdom as a "Mystery", while affirming that the wisdom of the rulers reaches "nothing".

If man had wisdom, Paul points out, Jesus would not have needed to be crucified. However, all humanity can see is what is present in the moment, not being able to control or know the future with certainty. When Paul writes "the eyes have not seen," he indicates that no man can foresee the acts of God. No one knows God except the Spirit of God. We can participate in understanding God thanks to the Holy Spirit within us. Paul promotes this idea in his writing. Nobody understands God and is able to give him advice. If God could be taught by mankind, then God would not be omnipotent or omniscient.
Walking in the desert without a time limit to get out seems like an unfortunate fate, but such was the case with the Israelites, God's people, for forty years. They could not rely on their eyes (in their abilities) to solve their calamity, and instead required a refined faith in God to save them. Although they could not depend on themselves, the Bible makes it clear that the eyes are important to our well-being. Scientifically speaking, we use our eyes to process the information around us. Our eyes reflect light giving us a natural ability to see the world around us in all its various shapes and colors. We see things we like and things that scare us. There is a reason why we have terms like “body language” used to describe how we process someone's communication based on what we perceive visually. In the Bible we are told that what our eyes see affects our whole being.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be filled with light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be filled with darkness. So, if the light inside you is darkness, how deep is that darkness! ”(Matthew 6: 22-23) Our eyes reflect our focus, and in this scripture verse we see that our focus affects our heart. Lamps are used to guide. If we are not guided by the light, which is God, then we walk in darkness separate from God. We can ascertain that the eyes are not necessarily more meaningful than the rest of the body, but instead contribute to our spiritual well-being. The tension exists in the idea that no eye sees God's plan, but our eyes also see a guiding light. This leads us to understand that seeing the light, that is, seeing God, is not the same as fully understanding God. Instead, we can walk with God with the information we know and hope through faith that He will guide us through something greater. of what we have not seen
Take note of the mention of love in this chapter. God's great plans are for those who love Him. And those who love Him use their eyes to follow Him, even if imperfectly. Whether or not God reveals his plans, following him will move us to act according to his will. When trials and tribulations find us, we can rest easy knowing that even though we may suffer, the storm is coming to an end. And at the end of the storm there is a surprise that God has planned, and that we cannot see with our eyes. However, when we do, what a joy it will be. The final point of 1 Corinthians 2: 9 leads us on the path of wisdom and beware of worldly wisdom. Receiving wise advice is an important part of being in the Christian community. But Paul expressed that the wisdom of man and that of God are not the same. Sometimes people speak for themselves and not for God. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf. Whenever we need wisdom, we can boldly stand before God's throne, knowing that no one has seen our destiny except Him. And that's more than enough.
