February 4 Our “FAITH” Walk 2 Corinthians 5:7
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)
The more difficult and the more complex our lives become, the easier that it is to lose our direction and our perspective. “God,” is this the way I am supposed to live?” We often think, while going through the promised trials and tribulations of this life; that we are not living right! Well, that is when “FAITH” comes into play. God, through Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, has provided the empowered ability to face the challenges and to overcome the difficulties, through HIS SUSTAINING POWER FOR LIVING! That Power is our FAITH! FAITH in HIS PROMISES, FAITH IN HIS POWER, FAITH IN HIS WORD AND FAITH IN THE FACT THAT HE SAID IT AND WE BELIEVE IT! Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen! This world, right now, today, offers a dismal and dark picture and the activities of this world are a far cry from the glory and presence of God, yet, even in the midst of the depravity and sin, HE STILL LOVES US! When I wake up, each day, and look in the mirror, and listen to the “News” of the day, and review the activities of my day, I could be depressed! The next thing in my morning routine, is time with my God…through His Word, through Prayer and Meditation, and that is when I see clearly the ability to navigate through the day, with renewed hope and with empowered vision for the challenge. I pray that God will provide each of us the FAITH to see HIS HAND in everything that we do and the SUSTAINING and EDIFYING POWER to provide AMAZING AND ABUNDANT FAITH TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE CIRCUNSTANCES WITH THE ASSURANCE OF FAITH AND HIS PROMISES! I also claim the fact that, although our FAITH may have started out the size of a mustard seed, that it will grow into a mighty tree! “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!!
