“For we walk by faith, not
by sight.”
II Corinthians 5:7
I frequently pray that God would make the
things of heaven and the unseen world more real to me than the world I live
in. Why?
I believe that since this world is so temporary and our lives are so
short, that we need to have a vision of the fact that this journey is through
the wilderness and we are on the path to our true eternal home.
God has proved to me many times that
“faith” sees the unseen and a person sometimes merely has to wait upon God’s
timing to see prayers manifested before our eyes. Do you need help in making a wise decision
regarding something? Do you need
healing? Do you need help with finding a
job or with your finances? Trust God and
continue to step out in faith. Thank God
that He loves you and has your best interests at heart and know that His
provision is always there.
God is the only One worthy of our trust
and faith. The Bible is full of His
promises to us and examples of His provision to His people from the beginning
of creation. We need to learn to have expectant faith, that goes beyond our
immediate vision and understanding to the One who holds the universe in His
hand and yet care enough about each one of us to have numbered the hairs on our
heads.
We walk by faith and not by sight,
trusting in the hand that both holds and guides us. Have faith in God. Never take your eyes off Jesus!

For some reason walking by faith often seems hard for us to do. We loose sight of all our true beliefs about how we should do this, forgetting that faith is a belief in things unseen.
