Walking by Faith, Not by Sight

Opening Verse

“For we walk by faith, not by sight:” (2 Corinthians 5:7, KJV)

Introduction

In a world that demands proof for belief, walking by faith represents a profound trust in what we cannot see. This concept challenges us to rely on spiritual conviction rather than physical evidence.

Devotional Story

Imagine a young man named Michael, who felt called to start a community outreach program in his small town. Despite having little support and facing many doubts from those around him, Michael chose to step forward in faith. He didn’t have all the answers, nor could he foresee how the program would sustain itself. Yet, he moved ahead, trusting that God would provide the means and the people to make his vision a reality. Over time, the outreach program grew, helping many in need and becoming a cornerstone of the community.

What This Means

To walk by faith is to trust in God’s promises and guidance, even when we can’t see the immediate outcome. It’s about believing in His plan for us, even when the path is unclear. Michael’s story illustrates how faith can lead to unexpected blessings and fulfillment.

Think About This

Consider areas in your life where you’re being called to walk by faith. What might God be asking you to trust Him with, even if you can’t see the entire path ahead?

Prayer

Dear Lord, help me to walk by faith, not by sight. Strengthen my trust in Your promises and guide me in Your path, even when I cannot see the way forward. May Your will be done in my life, as I place my trust and hope in You alone. Amen.

Closing Verse

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5, KJV)
