A Journey of Faith

Are you walking each day in faith, regardless of your circumstances? Is your faith maturing, preparing you for every good work that He has for you?

November’s Awakening, Day 11

God will test you because He wants you to mature. He wants you to develop a walk with Him that is not based on your fluctuating emotions, but on your commitment to Him as you learn to walk by faith.

 —Greg Laurie

To know and experience what God can do, we must first realize and acknowledge what we cannot do. We must get our eyes off of ourselves and our limited ability, and totally onto Him and His infinite power. 

 —Joyce Meyer, “Be Anxious for Nothing: The Art of Casting Your Cares and Resting in God”

For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6–7 NIV

            We come to Christ by faith and we must live our lives by faith, knowing that it is not the visible and tangible that is most important, but it is the continual spiritual awareness and closeness to Him that makes the difference and gives us our significance. It is difficult living beyond our normal physical senses and living by faith and belief in the One we need to connect to, yet if we are spiritually in tune with Him, we will soon discover that our awareness and discernment in the spiritual realm is quite powerful and will manifest itself in subtle ways in the natural. We will “feel” His presence, sometimes overwhelmingly, reacting physically to a purely spiritual experience. It is not the physical reaction that is important but the spiritual awareness that initiated it. Are you spiritually sensing His presence on a regular basis or are you tuning Him out?
