Walking in Faith

Sometimes we just have to completely trust God. We have to surrender our fears and insecurities and follow Him by faith, even if the outcome seems doubtful. Abraham had to when God told him to leave his homeland and travel to the land of Canaan, a place unknown to him. He again had to trust God when the Lord told him to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac, even though he knew God was opposed to human sacrifices.

When Joseph was sold into Egypt, he had to trust God for his safety, provision, and well being. This was not an easy task, especially when he was thrown into prison for something he didn't do. But his faith was rewarded years later when Joseph was made 2nd in command of all Egypt.

Moses had to trust God to provide food and water for over a million Israelites when they left Egypt. David had to trust God to keep his promise to make him king, even though he was homeless and hunted down for many years. Mary had to trust God when the Holy Spirit came over her and made her pregnant in a land where adulterous women were stoned.

All these people had one thing in common in their walks of faith: they trusted God. Did they have doubts at times? Most likely. They were only human. But there must have been an indwelling of the Holy Spirit to carry them through the tough times until God's promises could be fulfilled.

As believers God calls us to trust Him and to walk by faith. We are not to look at our circumstances and the improbability of the situation, but we are to look at the Creator who tells us nothing is impossible with Him.

Going through a difficulty right now? Trust God. Ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit for guidance and strength, and then you'll be able to walk by faith wherever He leads.
