In this sermon, Stephen Davey shows how God displayed His glory through the life of Fanny Crosby, whose lifelong blindness became a platform for extraordinary spiritual fruit rather than limitation. Drawing from John 9, Davey explains that her suffering was not accidental or punitive, but intentionally designed by God to showcase His grace. Though blind from infancy and later marked by deep personal sorrow, Crosby joyfully trusted God’s providence and devoted her gifts to Christ after her conversion. God used her obedience to produce more than 8,000 hymns that have led countless people to faith and hope in Christ. Davey concludes that disability and suffering are ultimately governed by God’s sovereign purposes, and a life surrendered to Him can shine with enduring light far beyond what the world expects.
