I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but you might take a
look at Hebrews 11, with the passage about faith in things unseen, and
a catalogue of the patriarchs and prophets who acted on blind faith.

Subject: f2nd try, aith and the senses,
I think I have sent an incomplete query to the list. Let me try again.
Redcrosse's abandonment of Una is typically understood as a failure
of faith caused by a dependence on his senses.
My question: is there a scriptural equivalent?
Christians are asked in different ways have faith and not believe what
ordinary experience tells them. But is there an occasion in the Bible in
which one's faith is supposed to override what is presented to one's
senses.
I hope I haven't revealed complete, overwhelming ignorance.
