"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
— 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV)
In life, we may face situations where the path ahead seems unclear or where we cannot see how things will work out. In these moments, we are challenged to rely not on what we see, but on our faith in God’s plan.
Faith isn’t just about believing when things are going well; it’s about trusting in God when the future is uncertain, when we don’t have all the answers. The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that we walk by faith, not by sight. This means placing our confidence in God's wisdom and direction, even when our own understanding falls short.
Walking by faith requires surrendering control and embracing the unknown. It’s not always easy, but it’s in these moments of surrender that we grow deeper in our trust of God. We don’t need to see every detail of His plan to know that He is guiding our steps. We are called to trust that He will provide what we need in His perfect timing.
Today, reflect on areas of your life where you’re struggling to walk by faith. Is there a decision you’re facing where you’re relying more on what you can see than on God’s promises? Surrender those areas to Him. Remember, God is faithful, even when the path is unclear. Trust that He will lead you exactly where you need to go.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to walk by faith and not by sight. I trust You even when I cannot see the full picture. Strengthen my faith so that I may follow You with confidence, knowing that Your plans for me are good. Teach me to surrender control and trust in Your perfect will. Amen.
Reflection:
What situations in your life are calling you to walk by faith instead of relying on what you see?
How can you grow in your trust in God’s guidance, even when the outcome is hard to see?
