Walk By Faith

For we walk by faith, not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7

This verse, pertaining to eternal life and our robe of righteousness that awaits us in heaven, is the foundational principle in which we live as followers of Christ. Though in the natural we don't see the after life, all we see is a body that dies and a grave, we know by faith (believing) that the promise of God is true and that it doesn't all end in a cemetery. Thus, we live by faith, not by sight. In the same way, we are to live day to day standing on the promises of God. However, most people live day to day standing on the evidence of things seen. That is, they never saw Aunt Bessie healed or Uncle Bob prosperous, therefore those promises must not be for everyone. Or we speak to the mountain and call things that are not as though they already were and nothing immediately happens, so we chalk it up to "we tried that once and it didn't work" and therefore choose to live by "sight" instead of by faith. Faith is the ability to see it complete while it is still undone. Settle it in your spirit, by the spirit make up your mind, and let your actions be in accordance to what you believe. Everyone is looking for something that "works". Don't go around trying to copy everything everyone else is doing. That is living by sight. The one thing that has always worked and never failed is the Word of God. Be sensitive to what He is telling you to do, then walk by faith and go do it. Stand firm and don't be moved by what you see. It's what we trust in but don't yet see that keeps us going.

Have A Awesome Blessed Week
