“We walk by faith, not by sight.” \u2013 2 Corinthians 5:7
What powerful words to anchor our hearts and minds as we high step our way through this new year! Walking by faith isn\u2019t just a stroll in the park — it\u2019s an adventure! It stretches us, surprises us, and reminds us that God\u2019s ways are not only higher than ours but often way more creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking by faith means trusting God’s plan, even when it feels like we’re navigating a maze in the dark. It\u2019s like stepping onto an escalator that isn’t moving — we trust that it\u2019ll carry us forward (and maybe even up a floor or two!) Oh, but I’ve walked up the escalator even when it wasn’t moving! God’s plan must have meant I needed the exercise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faith nudges us to hold tight to the dreams God has planted in our hearts, even when the waiting feels like standing in line for our morning coffee — forever long, but oh so worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take Noah, for example: building an ark before rain was even a thing. Imagine the neighbors\u2019 reactions: \u201cWhat\u2019s he up to now?” Or Abraham, holding onto the promise of being a father of nations at 100 years old. These stories don\u2019t just showcase God\u2019s faithfulness; they remind us that faith often looks a little wild before it blooms into something wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking by faith means stepping out of our comfort zones, letting go of the steering wheel, and letting God be our ultimate GPS. (Spoiler alert: His directions sometimes take us off-road, but it\u2019s always the scenic route!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, it can feel a bit chaotic — like trying to assemble furniture with no instructions (been there and done that), but it\u2019s in those moments that we discover God’s ways are higher than our ways!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Too often, we try to squeeze God into our tidy little boxes of expectation. But when we stop wrestling with our timelines and start trusting His, we unlock a plan that\u2019s beyond anything we could dream up. His timing is never late. It’s always right on time, even if it feels like He\u2019s taking the long way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let’s take the first step. It might feel tiny, or it might feel like a giant leap, but it\u2019s always a step toward God\u2019s best for us. Remember: faith doesn\u2019t ask us to see the whole picture. It simply asks us to trust the One holding the brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s take those steps today, knowing this: God\u2019s love never fails, His timing is flawless, and His plans are nothing short of amazing. And along the way, let’s enjoy the journey — it\u2019s all part of His masterpiece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
