May 10 “We Must Walk by FAITH” 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)
Every time that I look in the mirror, and every time that I witness the insanity of this present age, with its chaos, evil, depravity and uncontrolled insanity, I am so glad that my precious God has provided an opportunity to live above these circumstances, and has provided the atoning Grace of His Son, Jesus Christ, and His Life Changing Blood to cleanse and restore our relationship with the Father God! The scripture passage for today, clearly tells us that we must not walk, through this life, depending on the actions, beliefs, circumstances of this world, but we are to claim God’s Presence, His Provision, His Power, and we are to embrace His Promises and, by Faith in Him, walk in that FAITH! Listen, those who walk in FAITH, have surrendered their lives to God and are relying on Him for His Power to sustain them and to protect them! They count on God’s Promises and Live Abundantly! To walk in Faith requires a focusing on the Word of God, a Faithful Prayer Life, and a confident and enduring attitude of assurance, as we face the unrelenting attacks and challenges of the Evil One! James 1:2-3, expresses some beautiful words of instruction and faith… “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” What a joyful expectation! We will have tribulations, we will have challenges, we will face hardships, tragedies, and peril, yet, when we WALK IN FAITH, we are promised VICTORY and HOPE! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
