Take it by Faith Brother...

There’s a saying amongst religious folk that decries, “Take it by faith brother.” What it implies is that the things of God don’t really make any sense or follow any specific pattern of logic. Now, just consider that for a moment. Is it logical to you that God is perfect; His originally given Word was perfect; He has supreme and vast intelligence and knows everything there is to know, yet somehow…

Man, God's providence is gonna eat every time!! Just trust Him; everything will ultimately work out for your good as He promised. He knows what you need and He knows what's not right for you according to the season you're currently in. Nothing He does is to harm you, but to prosper you. While it may not be clear now, remember that you can only see one piece of the puzzle at a time. God holds the answer key, knowing where each piece belongs. He merely asks for your trust in placing the pieces in their rightful spots, rather than struggling to put it together on your own.

Narnia, silence

Flame-light cast warmth over the stone lines of the face opposite his, the eyes that followed his every move—the pacing, the hand gripping sword hilt, the shaking head—until he slowed, until he settled, until he sat quiet on stone steps, hands fallen in his lap, gaze lifted up, above himself, beyond himself, to lose himself, to find himself peirced, held, seen.

Heartbeat hushed. Breath deepened. Soul stilled.

Only in the silence could Peter finally hear.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) - For we walk by faith, not by sight.

A HOUSE OF MANY MANSIONS

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Good Morning!☀

For we walk by faith, not by sight: 2 Corinthians 5:7

This short verse succinctly sums up the Christian life. It is the explanation for why we can move forward when those around us are faltering. It explains why we have hope when things seem hopeless. It enables us to endure life's trials, knowing that these trials will not last always and God has something wonderful for us.

In the specific context this was written in Paul was addressing the fact that when this life is over, we will go to be with the Lord. We will have a new home without the kinds of things we now face. We will have a new body, one not prone to the aches and pains we now suffer, because there will be no more pain. Meanwhile, we are already in the Lord's care, under his watchful eye, though not present with him. Our faith sustains us during this time, empowering us to stay true to him and living a life pleasing to him.

In a broader context, walking by faith is the only way for the Christian to live and please God. The writer of Hebrews reminds us:

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

It emboldens us to keep going when others have given up. It enables us to see possibilities where others see possibilities. It allow other to see God in us and want to know him for themselves.

Dare to walk by faith!

We walk by faith [NT:1223,4102 dia pistis “caused by conviction”], and not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

[mylordmyfriendsposts]

Hebrew 6 Verse 10: “For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints ---and you continue to serve them”.

2 Thessalonians 3 verse 13:” Brothers {and sisters}, do not grow weary in doing good”.

We can discourage ourselves, but we always need to see ourselves as Ou Lord and Our friend sees us.

 He is not unjust.

He will not forget the work done in His name.

He is all knowing and He has promised never to leave us or forsake us.

Our work for him should be out of our love for Him, and not because we want to be seen to be doing.

In His ultimate love for us, He died on a cross, to pay the price that we could not afford to pay, to have new life in Him.

In His ultimate love for us, He rose again, because He had paid the price to give us new life In Him.

Acts 17 Verse 28” For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, for we are also His offering”.

Our work for Him, In Him and out of Him, is where true satisfaction comes from, and it never goes unnoticed

God Bless.
