Walking by Faith

Walking by Faith

II Cor. 5:7  For we walk by faith, not by sight:

For many years I served at a ministry named Faith Baptist, and often through the regular course of ministry, the pastor would comment on "Faith Baptist" vs. "Sight Baptist." Especially now, as God has seen fit to move me to a new location w/o providing me a clear direction of what the future holds, I must learn to "walk by faith." It has been exciting to see Him work out each step of the move, from the sale of the house to the school for the kids. Once again God has shown Himself to be faithful. Regardless of what I do, I can never comprehend the love of my God as seen in His care for His children.

One of the great blessings of the Christian walk is the realization that comes when we see the result of our faith. We don't walk by sight, but the sight that comes when we see the result of God's leading is 20-20. We have all heard that hindsight is 20-20. Seeing the result of God's work is also crystal clear. Looking ahead, the view is often obstructed; looking back it is absolutely clear. So we walk by faith, trusting our God who loves us to prepare the way before and meet each need that we have.
