Walk by faith, not by sight…2 Corinthians 5:7…
“Walking” by faith and not by “sight”…is not encouraging one to ignore or deny the realities of the matter…It is not a way of “escaping” or assuming that the situation doesn’t exist…It is the ability to “confront” the matter using the “laid down protocols” that guantee success which is derived from the word of God…
“Success” is not when the “results” are as you want or expect but when God intervenes in a matter and begins to give clear direction on what to do…
Sometimes the “clear signal” can be through a call ….Someone calls you and tell you something that “opens” up your mind…It can also be the ability to “stay” calm and peaceful while the “storm is raging”…When you are calm and peaceful; you will not make hasty decisions due to the “pressure” and the magnitude of the situation….In that moment of “calm” you are able to “think through” the matter and “weigh” your options….
Proverbs 3:5-6…Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding…Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take….
“Walk by faith”…your trust and confidence in God’s ability to help you…and change your situation….
“…not by sight.”…You all know that what we “see” affects our “choices”…and hence our understanding of a matter…What we “see” and “hear” can cause discouragement and make us “feel” hopeless…This is what you need to do .. not once but everyday….This is how “walking by faith” …”looks” like!!!
Philippians 4:6-7…Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything …Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done…
Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand…And this peace will control the way you think and feel…
Finally; in your “waiting” or while in the “process” of “finding” a solution to your situation; reflect on this….
Philippians 4:12…I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything…I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little…
The “matter/situation” at hand today… could mean…losing something that you “hold dear” inorder to move forward…It might also require you to “scale down” …and adjust inorder to “stabilize” …Philippians 4:12 is a good verse to consider….
“Walk by faith, not by sight”!!!!….Arise and Shine….
