Walking with the One Who Is Faithful

Introduction
The walk of faith is an exciting journey because each day often brings with it new challenges.
The terrain upon which every believer walks is landscaped with many uncertainties, but we are encouraged in Scripture to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
As Christians, we must learn to live by faith and not by what we can or cannot see with human eyes, thus resting in the assurance and knowledge that God’s grace is sufficient in all situations.
As we walk with our heavenly Father, it is important for us to remember that without faith, it is impossible to please Him. Faith is the only thing that moves the hand of God on our behalf.
Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
The Lord is not particularly moved by our tears as we are facing challenging moments in our lives, though He is a compassionate God, who is ready and able to meet our heartfelt needs.
It is during such times we need to remind ourselves that faith is what moves God to intervene in our situation.
Martin Luther once stated, “Faith is a daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.”
There isn’t anything that pleases the Father as much as unwavering faith in everything He has promised to do.
For example, Abraham demonstrated his faith through his obedience in leaving his home in Ur and traveling to unknown lands, living for many years in the Promised Land as a foreigner in temporary dwellings, and by waiting on his permanent dwelling place. Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born, and his wife Sarah was ninety. They did not look at their physical inabilities but judged God faithful to keep His word.
Looking through the lenses of faith causes us to see our weaknesses as a means by which God perfects His strength in our lives, and as a result of moving in our lives through divine intervention, He receives all the glory, honor, and praise.
As sons and daughters of our heavenly Father, each day we are offered a wonderful opportunity to put our trust in Him who is the same today, yesterday, and forever.
