2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight".
Faith is choosing to live as though the bible were true, regardless of circumstances, emotions or cultural trends. Do you walk by faith? Or are you making choices based on the circumstances you find yourself in, the emotions rumbling around in your heart, or are you unknowingly influenced by the culture of today? Scripture carries a stern warning for those who try to walk without faith.
Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE!!! to please God. God takes no pleasure in us figuring it all out and trying to make choices and live our lives based on how we feel or what we can see about our circumstances. He most certainly is not a god who takes pleasure in the "blind leading the blind" when it comes to culture. Faith is the key to living the Christian life! When we exercise faith and believe He can do the impossible, overcome the improbable, and make a way where there is none, we give Him glory without the detracting note of human ability or human contribution. He loves and commands us to walk by faith!
So that bears the question - am I walking by faith today?....are YOU walking by faith today? Are we choosing to believe the truth of scripture despite how we feel, despite the circumstances we are experiencing and despite what the world around us is saying? If not, why not? Let's start now.
His finest blessings to all of you.
