What Faith Are You Walking By?

Good Morning!! Have you ever felt beat down, wrung out, to the point where you don't see how you can go any further. It could be because of your responsibilities at work, or at home. Maybe you've been living in a difficult situation for so long that you're losing hope. Perhaps you look at the world around us, and all you see, and feel is the overwhelming oppression of a sin-sick world. Many people give up trying to standing on God's truth,...in the face of such overwhelming odds. They start walking by sight, and not by faith.
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.—2 Corinthians 5:6-8 (NIV)

People are compromising the Word of God at an alarming rate,...just like the Israelites did 1000s of years ago. Christians step willingly away from God's directives, and feel justified doing so,...because it's acceptable in the culture or legal. But God's truth and character has not changed. He still calls us to obey Him, even when it doesn't make sense. He calls us to keep our eyes focused on Him, instead of looking to the left and right.

God is looking for men and women to stand up for His truth,...in spite of overwhelming odds.

Heavenly Father, we praise You for Your goodness and faithfulness. It's difficult to keep focused on Your truth, in the midst of discouragement. Help us to walk by faith in You,...and not faith in our circumstances. We trust that You are able to do more than we could ever imagine. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

"A relationship with God, like all relationships, must begin with trust.
Ultimately trust begins with the courage to believe."
