A Walk of Faith
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Scripture:
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (New King James Version)
What is a faith walk? Or better yet, what is faith? Faith is defined as a belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. Or the more theological answer would be; the secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1).
To walk by faith simply means that even though I don’t what the outcome is going to be, I have the faith to believe that the outcome will be a positive one. Whether we realize it or not, we walk by faith more than we may know. For example; how many times have you said, “I don’t know if this is going to work, but I am going to try it anyway.” You just walked be faith. Or, maybe you didn’t know how you were going get out of a situation but somehow by the grace of God you did.
Walking by faith simply means that no matter what happens, you are trusting God. You are trusting in God that the business you started, the book you wrote, the job you want is going to be manifested because we have an unfailing trust in God. Walking by faith is knowing that no matter what you are going through, God can still show up and show out.
Walking by faith means that we trust God enough to know that no matter what problems you are faced with, God is still in control.
Be blessed
Prayer:
God is our hope and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved, and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof rage and swell, and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same. There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. Father, when all is darkness and we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us the sense of Your presence, Your love, and Your strength. Help us to have perfect trust in Your protecting love and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to You, we shall see Your hand, Your purpose, Your will through all things. As we journey through this day, may Your power and Your presence, Your grace and Your mercy be with us, guide us and direct us down the path that You have chosen. Lord, may our hearts and minds be made ready and may we be prepared for whatever comes our way each and every day. We come humbling ourselves, submitting our hearts and minds to Your precious will. Lord, we just want to thank You for all that You have done and all that You are about to do. We thank You and praise Your name in our times of plenty as well as in our time of need. We thank You father for we realize that even when we want what we want, You only want what’s best for us. Thank You Lord, bless You name Lord. In Christ we pray, Amen.
