Walking By Faith In The Lord

The world can seem like a rather dark place and it seems to be getting darker day by day.  There is a lot of anxiety and fear as to what will happen next.  Many people are worried about the future.  There are a lot of things that are going on in our world today that ought to concern us.  It is very hard to know all the facts and wade through the lies and spin that people put on stories these days.

We find it hard to know who and what to believe sometimes.  It also seems really hard to know who to trust.  People fail us unfortunately, but God never fails us.  We can trust the Lord with all of our problems and concerns.  The Lord is faithful and true to His Word.  When the Lord promises to do something we can be assured that He will do it.  He will do it in accordance to His perfect will and in His timing.

How shall we live then with all the uncertainty going on in the world around us?  There is a way we believers in Christ ought to live and that is by faith in Him.  The Lord is our God and our Savior and we can count on Him always.  The Lord will lead us and guide us each step of the way.  He will equip us to do the things that He would have us to do.

We may feel inadequate to do the things that God has called us to do, but we can be confident that if the Lord has called us to the task that He will help us to accomplish what He wants us to do.  The Lord won't lead us to a place and then leave us high and dry as sometimes people do.  The Lord may call us to step out of our comfort zone, but it is not to embarrass us or to bring us unease.  He puts us in certain situations that seem hard for us so we can build up our faith in Him.

God is not out to harm us.  He loves us and He wants us to trust Him more and more as we journey onward here on earth.  We must continue to persevere with our faith in the Lord each step of the way.  Our journey may not be easy.  It may in fact be really hard and rocky, but that Lord will help us when our faith is in Him.

We need to walk by faith and not by sight.  The things going on in our world these days can seem rather frightening and even ugly.  The things we see aren't good at all.  That is why we must be sure that our faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ and in Him alone.  He is our living hope.  We must continue to walk by faith in the Lord Jesus and not be focused on the things going on around us.  We should be concerned about them and speak up about the wrong things going on, but we must remember that God is still in control and we belong to Him when we come to know Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Lord,
You are Holy and Just in Your Judgments.
We praise Your Name.
Help us to walk by faith and not by sight.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
