Bread for the Journey

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.

Hebrews 11:1 (Good News Bible)

It takes courage to live our life by faith and not by sight, choosing to let go of control and place our hope into the Lord's hands rather than in our own.
Our journey here on earth is uncertain and we can't see what is around the next corner which may give us a real mix of emotion including anything from excitment to fear.

Faith in something we can not see challenges us to trust God to be true to His Word and promises. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.

God sees clearly the path before us and sees what we can not see. At times I struggle fully grasping that truth for myself even if my life experience has proven to me that indeed God is faithful. My desire is to keep strengthening my trust in Him and to encourage those that I journey with to do the same.

Prayer; Lord help us to keep our eyes fixed on you Jesus and not on the road in front of us heavily laden with fog straining our eyes to see rhat only you can see, but to trust that you will lead us as we walk in obedience to your Word and making our faith stronger with each step, trusting that you will never fail us or forsake us. In your precious name I pray. Amen.
