Live By Faith, Not By Sight
by Daniel N. Brown
Do you feel like you are experiencing roadblocks to your dreams?
Do you feel like you are striving for something but it just seems
to elude you?
Maybe you are a little discouraged and confused about what God
wants for you. Do you wonder if God has a plan for your life? And
if He does, why does it remain unfulfilled?
There may be a multitude of thoughts running through your mind as
you continue day in and day out, repeating the same mundane tasks
over and over again, wondering if things will ever change.
You may be frustrated and wondering what your purpose is. Jesus
said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who
believes,” (Mark 9:23) and He also said, “According to your
faith, be it done unto you” (Matt 9:29).
We must believe without a doubt that we will have good
things in life, that we will be guided to the right situations at
the right times, and that we really will see our dreams
manifested. We will, if we believe because our faith can move
mountains!
God has a wonderful plan for each of His children according to
his or her own unique gifts and abilities (Jeremiah 29:11).
Therefore, we must trust that God is working all things for our
benefit according to His plan (Romans 8:28). It really is just a
matter of faith.
The Bible says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb 11:6).
I love the part where it says, “Believe that He is.” Believe that
He is what? Our Heavenly Father and God Almighty! The author of
the entire universe. The greatest force that has ever existed.
And, He knows right where you are. Every hair on your head is
numbered (Luke 12:7). If you don’t have any hair, don’t worry,
your fuzz is probably numbered.
Living the abundant and prosperous Christian life is really just
a matter of getting out of God’s way. Quit trying to always
figure things out. Turn off the reasoning and let Him do His work
in you, through you, and for you, making you perfect and
complete, lacking nothing.
Psalms 18:29 says, “In your strength I can crush an army; with my
God I can scale any wall” (NLT).
Decide to have faith in any given situation. Believe everything will
work out fine no matter what things may look like. As Christians,
we live by faith, not by sight (2 Cor 5:7). After all, God is the final
authority in any given situation and He knows exactly what He
wants to do in your life.
