"Walk By Faith, Not By Sight."

"For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7

 Maybe today, you are questioning what it is that lies ahead of you. You don't know what the road ahead holds, and frankly, you are quite scared, worried, or consumed by that fact, or maybe you just don't see where God could possibly take you from this point. But let me tell you today, that you, my friend, just have to "walk by faith."
 You see, life is a journey, and sometimes that journey can be a bit rougher than you might be comfortable with. Maybe there are few bumps in the rode, a hole you have to go around, or, like I am talking about today, a hill in front of you. See, when you are at the bottom of a hill, you have to climb up it to get to the other side, but the scary thing is that you can't see the other side. You don't know what's over there, you don't know what it will bring or what it holds, or even how the journey up the hill will be. It is all unknown, but you know what? We don't have to know anything about it!
 See, God specifically told us in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that we need to "walk by faith, not by sight." He is saying that, even though we may not be able to see what lies ahead, what the journey up the mountain will bring, or what will be on the other side, even though we don't know what our future holds, we have to remember that we do know who holds the future. No matter how bleak your situation may seem, you don't have to figure out how this is all going to turn out, you just have to trust God, and walk with faith, knowing that He is taking care of it, knowing that He has already paved these roads for you, and that He wants the greatest life for you that you could ever even imagine, and He is going to make sure that you get it. You just have to stop worrying about the unknown and fearing the future and what it may hold, and just "walk by faith, not by sight."
