Faith walking – is when you find yourself leaning upon God
and you feel like you are walking in the pitch black dark. It is when you don’t see the way – but you
know you know the Way, so you extend your spiritual arms out in front of you
and you step forward in prayer, trusting that God has got you.
It is not believing what you are experiencing in the
natural, but knowing that God is greater than whatever the situation is and He
alone will see you through. It is when
you are shaking and crying on the outside but you know God wants you to trust
Him and continue to go forward. It is
when you feel fragile and vulnerable and you have no more answers. When you are at the end of your rope and you
feel as though you are “bungee jumping” trusting that God will catch you.
I don’t have any answers except to tell you that He is the
answer. This is when the Word that is
hidden in your heart takes root and the scriptures of all God’s promises come
to mind.
“He is an ever present help in times of trouble.” (Psalms 46:1)
“He has made You the head and not the tail.” (Deuteronomy 28:13)“Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart lean not to your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your path.” (Proverbs 3:5)
“Greater is He that is in me than He that is within the world.” (1
John 4:4)
Your promises, God’s Word - He gave it to us for us to lean
on. We can only see part of the picture –
but He sees it in total and faith walking is when you have to trust that God is
in control. That you belong to Him; He is the Shepherd, you are one of His
sheep. The Shepherd will leave the fold
to bring ONE stray sheep back to Him. We
need to trust Him.
It’s hard to trust in the spiritual, God knows that but that
is where our faith comes in. The Bible
says, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.”
(Matthew 17:20)
Have you ever seen
how very small a mustard seed is? They are tiny! God is not a God that He would lie. TRUST. BELIEVE. OBEY. God loves not as we
love, sometimes it is hard for us to fathom God’s love because we haven’t
experienced it with people in our lives.
God is not like the people in our lives.
He is faithful, He is trustworthy, He is true. Our perceptions are different than His – this
is where faith comes in. We are not
alone, He is with us and He cares. His Word is the same today as it was
yesterday as it will be tomorrow. Trust.
He is the light in the darkness. He’ll make a way where there isn’t one.
