Walking by Faith: In Light and Night

"Walk by faith, not by sight." God's Word

 

(I've been terribly busy these last months so I've gone to my archive of not-yet-published and grabbed one from the Spring. --dtc--)

We are commanded to walk by faith, not by sight. The reason is simple: if, in the night, we walk by sight, we may be overcome in thought by the frightening things there.

Likewise, if we walk by sight when it is light, we may not see the darkness crouching in the shadows or misplace our confidence in our vision when it should be in Christ.

By faith, therefore, we must walk in the true reality of God--being overcome neither by the darkness nor the light we, with our eyes, mistake this earth to be. Only by blinding our eyes to this world and seeing it from God's vision may we truly see and be free. That's walking by faith. Lord let it be so in my life. Let it be so in yours.
