We Walk by Faith, Not by Sight
Day 8 of 365 Photo Inspirations:
I have the joy of still being at my daughter’s home in Texas for a few more days. until after our Leadership Summit in East Texas this weekend. What a priviIege it is to stay in their beautiful Guest Room. The first time I visited them here, Staci asked me to let her know if there was anything that was missing for a guest to have everything they need for a restful and peaceful experience. The only thing missing was a hair dryer. This time, it’s there, as well as this stencil drawing just above the closet door, and directly across from the comfy and cozy bed. When I wake up, there it is…..”We walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7.

What perfect words to see, meditate on, and embrace throughout my day — especially knowing, that “walking by faith” is a journey of tremendous blessing and reward. It is a journey that is exciting, often, life-altering, and mind-boggling.
Walking by faith and not by sight requires us to go to a place we don’t know, but one that God will reveal as we walk in obedience to Him.
Walking by faith means that we continue to cling to the dreams God has planted in our heart, even though it seems those dreams are risky and it’s taking a long time for them to come true.
Walking by faith requires a strong determination to follow God’s plan regardless what life throws our way.
Walking by faith means we may have to do some pretty crazy things. Think about Noah building an ark for a flood when it had never even rained on earth. Think about Abraham clinging to the promise that he would be the father of many nations even though he was childless at the age of 100.
Choosing the “walking by faith” life, means we get out of our comfort zone, willing to let God take our world and turn it upside down, shake it up, and start all over again. And, in doing so, we let God out of the neat little box that we have put Him in, and let Him show up when He’s good and ready — with his PERFECT timing.
I don’t know where you are on this journey of walking by faith, but I encourage you to take the first step of the walk. That first step is the first step to success. It’s a decision we’ll never regret!
