Faith walking – is when you find yourself leaning upon God and you feel like you are walking in the pitch-black dark. It is when you don’t see the way – but you know you know the Way, so you extend your spiritual arms out in front of you and you step forward in prayer, trusting that God has got you.
It is not believing what you are experiencing in the natural but knowing that God is greater than whatever the situation is, and He alone will see you through. It is when you are shaking and crying on the outside, but you know God wants you to trust Him and continue to go forward. It is when you feel fragile and vulnerable, and you have no more answers. When you are at the end of your rope, and you feel as though you are “bungee jumping” trusting that God will catch you.
I don’t have any answers except to tell you that He is the answer. This is when the Word that is hidden in your heart takes root and the scriptures of all God’s promises come to mind. It says in Psalms 46:1:
“He is an ever-present help in times of trouble.”
Deuteronomy 28:13 says:
“He has made You the head and not the tail.”
Proverbs 3:5 tells us:
“Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart lean not to your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your path.”
1 John 4:4 encourages us with:
“Greater is He that is in me than He that is within the world.”
Your promises, God’s Word – He gave it to us for us to lean on. We can only see part of the picture – but He sees it in total and faith walking is when you have to trust that God is in control. That you belong to Him; He is the Shepherd, you are one of His sheep. The Shepherd will leave the fold to bring ONE stray sheep back to Him. We need to trust Him.
It’s hard to trust in the spiritual, God knows that but that is where our faith comes in. The Bible says in Matthew 17:20:
“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.”
Have you ever seen how very small a mustard seed is? They are tiny! God is not a God that He would lie.
TRUST. BELIEVE. OBEY.
God loves not as we love, sometimes it is hard for us to fathom God’s love because we haven’t experienced it with people in our lives. God is not like the people in our lives. He is faithful, He is trustworthy, He is true. Our perceptions are different than His – this is where faith comes in. We are not alone; He is with us and He cares. His Word is the same today as it was yesterday as it will be tomorrow. Trust. He is the light in the darkness. He’ll make a way where there isn’t one.
