Blind Hope is a song from the group Stave’s Acre. If this song was done by a well known artist or released by a secular label, Blind Hope would be a smash hit. However, the life of a Christian alternative rock band is often lonely and obscure.
This song is like my struggle to find a new full time position. As I apply for various positions each week, I am filling out each application in blind hope, praying for an open door. Like the group Stave’s Acre who likely felt the song Blind Hope would receive national attention, I often wonder why I haven’t been successful.
In reality, Blind Hope is the presence of the Holy Spirit. In the absence of progress or lack of success, a still small voice, the whisper of God gives people hope. As I wrestle with the uncertainty of my future, I am putting my hope in Jehovah-Jireh, who provided a lamb as a sacrifice in Genesis 22:14. If God can save Isaac’s life, then God will find me a position in the near future.
