Whose Steps Are You Following?

Sisters, you don’t have to have everything all figured out.  You may not even know your next step.  Just pray and ask the Father, and then listen closely because He is right there.  The walk with God really is a faith walk.  2 Corinthians 5:7 puts it so clearly, “We walk by faith and not by sight.”  We have to walk by faith, otherwise the presence of storms and circumstances in our lives will overtake us.  It’s not easy though, I won’t pretend that it is. 

In choosing to walk by faith, we choose to take God at His Word. That can be challenging when His Word is the opposite of what we see around us.  But think about it.  God spoke and created the world.  He didn’t use a pattern.  He didn’t wait for someone else to do it; He spoke.  We have to learn to hold on to the very Word of God because there is power that we haven’t even tapped into yet.  It’s part of our inheritance as children of God, but it takes faith to step into the deep.  Walking by faith allows us to tap into the promises of God and experience the blessings before they even manifest.  How awesome is that?  When we really learn to believe to see, instead of see to believe, we will tap into to heavenly realm to experience things on a natural level.  We have that ability; we just don’t know how much authority we carry.

Walking by faith is like placing your hand in God’s hand and walking forward with your eyes covered or closed.  You demonstrate blind faith, confidently knowing that God will prevail.  It’s important to seek God for direction, because well-meaning people can sometimes lead you in the wrong direction.  Have you ever asked someone for directions, and then at some point it became increasingly clear that they had no idea where you were trying to go?  They meant well, but were not equipped with the right information to get you where you needed to be.  The same thing happens spiritually sometimes.  People mean well, but we are limited.  It’s possible to be led by your emotions and not the Spirit of God when you deeply care for someone.  (And what’s best for you may not be what’s best for them.)
