WE

WALK

BY FAITH

NOT BY SIGHT

2 Corinthians 5:7

To walk by faith requires that we become really good at listening (and obeying!) the voice of the Holy Spirit and following the truth of God’s Word (John 10:27; 16:13 NLT). We choose to live according to what God reveals to us, rather than trusting our own understanding or what the world tells us (Proverbs 3:5-7 NKJV)

To walk by faith means that you fear God more than man. (Proverbs 29:25 ESV)
To walk by faith means that you choose righteousness over sin, no matter what the cost. (Proverbs 2:5-10 ESV)
To walk by faith means that you trust God in every circumstance rather than going by your own wisdom. (Psalm 62:8 NIV)
To walk by faith means that you believe God rewards those who seek Him, no matter what anyone else tells you (Hebrews 11:6 NLT)
To live this way, requires the faith of a mustard seed, watered by an active and growing relationship with an awesomely loving and understanding God. When we base our lives on the truth of God’s Word, rather than on the popular philosophies of our day, we are going against our natural instincts. Trusting God can be hard when the noise of our fears, or the threats we hear or see are so loud. This is when we need to step out and “Walk by Faith and not by sight”, allowing the Word of God to rise up within us to become wisdom and understanding in every situation of our lives.

Remember… there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit….what then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? …Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us! (Romans 8 NKJV)
