‘For we walk by faith, not by sight.’ 2 Corinthians 5: 7 Walking By Faith: Have you ever wished that the Lord allowed the reverse to be true – that we could walk by sight instead of faith? One day, I sensed the Lord say in my spirit, if you walk by sight we will only be able to go as far as we can see. But if we walk by faith, we will be able to go as far as He can see. It’s all a matter of whether we want to live in the realm of our resources and possibilities, or in the realm of the Lord’s resources and possibilities. I want to walk by faith and enter into all that the Lord has in store. No matter what your situation, the encouragement the Lord gives us is to press on in faith. In seeking Him we are inviting Him to bring into our situation His power and His resources. And, as the Apostle Paul reminds us, the Lord ‘is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.’ Ephesians 3: 20 The Lord works through faith. Just think of some of the many things mentioned in the Bible that God did for His people in response to faith. Noah was enabled to save his family from the destruction of the flood. Abraham, though well past age, was enabled to have a son. The Israelites saw the sea part and the walls of Jericho fall. David conquered Goliath; Daniel survived the lions’ den. The blind received their sight and many sick people were healed. When we place our faith in the Lord, He does mighty things. Faith therefore is vital and opens the door for the Lord to intervene in our situation. And with Him ‘nothing is impossible.’ Luke 1: 37 or put in another way, ‘everything is possible for him who believes.’ Mark 9:23 We can imagine some wonderful things when we walk by sight, but when we walk by faith we enter the realm far beyond our imagination – we enter into the Lord’s possibilities. The heart of faith is a relationship with God. It is, knowing Him, trusting Him, loving Him and obeying Him. When we approach God with this kind of heart, we can be confident that He hears us and will respond to our prayers with His mighty love and power. Blessings, Pat |
