Walking By Faith



Grateful, thankful hearts, worshiping and trusting in a living God who sees and knows our every care. Take a quick peek at those in distress in the bible. The fiery furnace where Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego who stand firm in their trust in God. David, Job and countless others who do the same. They all rejoiced and stood firm in their distress and God saw them through it. Ways we might not want to respond are also given. The children of Israel when they were faced with hardships on their journey, grumbled and complained at every distress despite their past obvious successes. The spies who scouted the "Promise Land" only to come back with the negative.

A favorite saying of mine when I feel like the children of Israel and other doubters is" If God brought me to it, he will see me through it", which comes from II Thessalonians 5: 24 " Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it."

Are we doubting God and think he has forgotten about us? Well scripture promises his faithfulness in all of our circumstances. Psalm 55:22 " Cast thy burden upon the Lord and he shall sustain thee; He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places".

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one."

"Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...." Ephesians 6:10-18.

The word of the Lord, is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. He will go before you in all things. Trust and believe in his word and activate your faith by putting actions to his word that he may prove himself faithful to you today.
