We often encounter moments where progress seems elusive, and God’s hand is not immediately visible. It’s in these moments that we are called to remember and rely on the profound truths found in scripture. Two powerful verses, 2 Corinthians 5:7 and Hebrews 11:1, provide the encouragement and guidance we need to navigate these times with unwavering faith.
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
~ 2 Corinthians 5:7
This verse serves as a powerful reminder that our spiritual journey is not dictated by what we can see. In a world that often demands tangible evidence and visible results, walking by faith requires us to trust in God’s promises, even when we can’t see the immediate outcome. It challenges us to rely on God’s wisdom and timing, believing that He is orchestrating something beautiful in our lives.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
~ Hebrews 11:1
Faith is the cornerstone of our relationship with God. It is the assurance that what we hope for will come to pass, even though we cannot see it yet. This kind of faith is not based on visible proof but on the unwavering belief in God’s goodness and His perfect plan for our lives. It is the conviction that, despite our current circumstances, God’s promises will be fulfilled.
The Faith of Noah and David
Throughout the Bible, we see remarkable examples of faith in action. Consider Noah, who was instructed by God to build an ark in preparation for a flood that would cover the earth. At the time, Noah had no tangible evidence of the impending disaster. Yet, he trusted God’s word and acted in faith. His obedience not only saved his family but also demonstrated the power of trusting in God’s plan, even when it seemed incomprehensible.
Similarly, David faced a giant named Goliath with nothing more than a sling and a few stones. He had never been a warrior, nor had he encountered such a formidable opponent. But David’s faith in God gave him the courage to confront Goliath. He knew that God was with him and would ensure victory. David’s faith moved mountains—literally and figuratively—and he triumphed against all odds.
Embracing Faith in Our Lives
Like Noah and David, we are often called to step out in faith, even when we can’t see the whole picture. We may face challenges that seem massive or situations where God’s presence feels distant. In these times, we must remember that God’s plans are always for our good. We weren’t there to witness the creation of the Earth, but through faith, we trust that God is the creator of all things. Likewise, we may not see the awesome things He is doing in our lives right now, but we can trust that He is at work, crafting something extraordinary.
Faith is not about having all the answers or seeing every detail of God’s plan. It is about trusting Him completely, knowing that His ways are way better (more gooder for past my students out there) than ours. It’s about being faithful, especially when we don’t know what God is up to, because we can rest assured that His plans are far greater than anything we could imagine.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 17:20 that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. This is not a metaphor; it’s a promise. When we place our faith in God, we tap into His limitless power. Our faith becomes the bridge that connects us to His miraculous works.
Bottom Line Y’all…
I want to encourage all of y’all to have faith and be faithful. Let’s trust in God’s plan, even when we can’t see, feel, or experience it firsthand. Let’s remember that God is always at work, and His plans for us are nothing short of epic. When we walk by faith and not by sight, we open ourselves up to the incredible things God has in store for us.
In the face of uncertainty, hold firmly to 2 Corinthians 5:7 and Hebrews 11:1. Embrace the same faith that Noah and David had, trusting that God is leading us to something far greater than we can comprehend. And let’s move forward with the confidence that, with God, all things are possible.
Blessings Y’all!
