Walk By Faith

-March 4, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Tuesday,

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

(2 Corinthians 5:7).

Today’s is one the shortest verses in the Bible, but it packs a great punch and it is a great verse to live by. There many such verses in Scripture. We all need more faith in our walk with the Lord.

The apostles sensed their need of greater and stronger faith. They said to Jesus in Luke 17:5, “Lord, increase our faith.” We begin the Christian journey by believing in Jesus and receiving Him into our hearts. That is saving faith; then our faith grows through the trials that the Lord brings into our lives, which is faith to believe God where we are living in this world.

To walk by faith is to see beyond our circumstances and trust God one day step at a time. The eye of sight sees merely the difficulties, roadblocks, and challenges; the eye of faith looks beyond human sight to see who God is and what God can do.

Caleb was a man of faith. He was one the twelve spies that Moses sent to spy out the land of Canaan. Only he and Joshua brought a good report, the other ten brought a bad report. All twelve saw a very fruitful land but was occupied by giants in fortified cities.

Caleb challenged the majority opinion of the impossibilities. Numbers 13:30 says, “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, ‘Let us go up at once and take possession, for we well able to overcome it.’”All the spies saw the same things; but Caleb and Joshua looked to the Lord who is greater than all. Bill Bright once said, “With God life is an endless hope. Without God life is a hopeless end.” It is a good reminder of what we have in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let us then walk by faith today, trusting God moment by moment, and look beyond our circumstances to Him. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Looking at the giants will bring us down; looking to Jesus by faith will lift us up and give us victory.
