For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV
Walk - Strong’s Concordance Greek Reference Number 4043:
live, follow.
Faith - Strong’s Concordance Greek Reference Number 4102:
belief, trust, confidence.
Sight - Strong’s Concordance Greek Reference Number 1491:
visible form, appearance, outward show.
We are called to walk by faith, trust and confidence in the Lord, and not by what our eyes see. For, when we walk by faith, our Shepherd leads the way. His direction is sure.
A simple; yet, profound truth that starts with a single step. Trust. Be Confident. Believe. Follow. Look to God. For the unknown is known by Him. It takes just a single step of faith to illuminate our path with the Father’s glory. Persevere! Have hope! Step out!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NKJV
Prayer
Father,
I choose to take a step of faith, and follow Your lead.
Lift my head, O God, that I may no longer be fixated on what is seen. As I step out in faith, I set my gaze upon Your glory. My hope renewed.
I choose to follow Your lead…
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23 NKJV
… and walk humbly with God…
He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8 NKJV
…not in pride or haughtiness…
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18 NKJV
…but in step - unified - with the Spirit.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16 ESV
Thanks be to God, who leads me in triumph!
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.
2 Corinthians 2:14 ESV
Amen
