We Walk BY Faith

By Paula Williamson guest writer

We all walk by faith. Faith is believing in the unseen. We believe in many things we cannot see every day! We take for granted that our roofs will not fall in, that we will reach our destination without a wreck, that the people we love will return home each day, that the Uber driver will arrive, that the chairs we sit on will hold us up, that we will live to see another day, and more. We all exercise faith and believe the unseen. To say you have no faith is a lie. We each decide what or whom to place our faith in.

It Is Written

JOHN 20: 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you now believed? Blessed are they who did not see and yet believed.”

Truth

The truth is, we put our faith in many things that are less trustworthy than God. We have faith that the pizza man will bring our pizza before we see him. God is more trustworthy than the pizza man. We sometimes put our faith in a conspiracy theory and listen to the latest supporting evidence, but the Bible has been around for over three thousand years, and no one, though they have tried, has proven it wrong. Maybe it’s time to place our faith in something proven.

Prayer

Lord, I have placed my faith in so many people and things that have disappointed me. I am sorry. You are the one who created the Universe and all that is in it. You set the boundaries of the oceans, the tides, the seasons, the sunrises, sunsets, and all continue to exist and support scripture like clockwork since the beginning of time. I place my faith in You today.

Takeaway

Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Hebrews 11:1
