2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Have you ever closed your eyes and tried to walk around? It’s not easy.
First of all, the moment you close your eyes everything goes dark. Second, if you try to walk or move around, you end up bumping into things and stumbling around.
When we first start trying to walk by faith, it can feel like we’re trying to walk with our eyes closed. Everything is unfamiliar and it can seem like we’re about to stumble and fall down.
But this is normal. We learn to walk based on what we see. It’s human nature. So to start walking by faith, without being able to see everything that’s ahead with our natural eyes, it can be a bit scary and intimidating.
But just like anything that’s new to us, walking by faith will become more natural as we do it more.
We may start out by trusting God with little things. And then we move on to bigger things. And as we do this, we become more and more comfortable with walking based on what we can’t see and less dependent on what we can see.
It won’t happen overnight, so don’t expect it to. And don’t be disappointed if you have a hard time adjusting to it.
But here’s the key to successfully living your life walking by faith. Take your eyes off of walking by faith and put them squarely on God. Build your relationship with Him. Press into Him and learn of Him. And as you do this, you will learn to hear His voice more clearly.
And when we can hear His voice clearly, we will have no trouble walking by faith, even when we can see nothing in front of us with our natural eyes.
But our spiritual eyes will now be sharp and clear. And we will be able to see things that our natural eyes would never be able to see.
Set your eyes on Him and you will never be afraid to walk by faith ever again.
