Christians may often hear comments that they're blindly following God. Or they may be asked why they blindly follow God. But when we study the Bible, we discover just the opposite.
God Does Not Want Us to Be "Ignorant"
Several times in the New Testament epistles we read not to be ignorant (e.g., Romans 1:13, 11:25; 1 Corinthians 10:1, 12:1; 2 Corinthians 1:8, 2:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 2 Peter 3:8). Ignorance means unenlightened or not knowing something—and God doesn't want that for His people.
He's given us His word to help us know what we need in this life. He's even told us what to expect in the future. The only blindness involved is our own failure to read and study the Bible.
The Lord Says, "Search" the Scriptures (John 5:39)
Jesus told the Jews, many of which wanted to kill Him, to search the Scriptures because, He said, the Scriptures speak of Him.
The Lord wants us to search the Bible to know Him more. There's no suggestion of blindness here—we're invited to follow the Lord with understanding.
In Isaiah 1:18, God invites us to reason with Him about our sinful state. That means He welcomes questions and is in the enlightening business.
God Tells Us to "Study" (2 Timothy 2:15)
We're told to study to show ourselves approved of God, so we don't have to be ashamed and to learn how to rightly divide the word of truth. That doesn't sound like God asking His people to follow Him blindly.
Jesus Christ Came to "Reveal" the Father to Us
The most telling evidence against blindly following God is Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus came to reveal God the Father to us (e.g., John 1:18, Matthew 11:27, Colossians 1:15) so that we would not be left in the dark (Luke 4:18). That doesn't sound like God who wanting people to blindly follow Him.
He walked the earth, taught, healed people, suffered, and died on a cross, then rose the third day—all so people could see the path to God through Him (John 14:6).
Final Thoughts
There is no need for Christians to blindly follow God—He's revealed Himself to us through His word; revealed His plans and purposes, the future, and our condition. He even sent His Son to reveal Himself and reconcile us to God.
God doesn't even mind if we ask questions—God encourages them, so we do not have to be in the dark. We may tend to forget that God is a big God and He can take it because in the end, all truth points to Him (John 17:17, Titus 1:2).
Rather than follow God blindly, Christians are encouraged to ask questions, seek answers, study the Bible, and walk according to Proverbs 3:5 when things don't make sense just yet.
