I've been thinking a lot lately about what it truly means to walk by faith, and not by sight. (2 Cor 5:7)
Many of us (myself included, believe me) constantly talk about, or at least think about in our minds, the fact that the Lord is our provider. We say it sometimes so often, I feel it has become commonplace in some ways. I say this because it is so easy to say and claim that God is our provider, but not live like He is always providing for us. We put something in His hands and "leave it there," and then sure enough the next day there we are again worrying about it. Do we really believe that He is who He says He is? That He will accomplish what He wants and that He is true to His word and keeps His promises to us? Do we doubt His character when we doubt that He will come through for us? Do we trust Him, truly and fully?
I have come to a place in my life that I, like never before, want to embrace a life of true faith. I do not want to doubt the great creator God of the universe! I refuse to live that way any longer, on any level. He was faithful to me in the largest way He ever could be when He pulled me out of the pit of hell itself and made me new by washing me of my sins and brought me into His presence for all of eternity! If He has been faithful to me before, He will absolutely, without a doubt be faithful to me all the time, every time. I want to strive is every capacity to live recklessly bound to my faith in my Lord, who will never leave me hanging.
And this really pertains to this race in huge ways. The enemy has already been attempting to come at me to try and divert my attention away from the faithfulness of my God, but He will not succeed any longer. If my Lord has called me to go forward in this journey, then He will bring me through and of course provide the means to do it.
Forgive me for my doubting, Lord Jesus.
You have proven Yourself faithful to me FAR too many times in my life for me to not trust you. Thank you for leading me and guiding me through Your Holy Spirit.
You HAVE been so good to me.
Thank you for holding me in Your arms Daddy, I love you.
