To walk more by faith and less by sight!

In one28, we have talked about faith the past few weeks in the morning service. It has been good to think through the sermons while I examine my own heart. I came up with this and that is I need to walk more by faith and less by sight. To trust God no matter what and in all circumstances. Each day I have an opportunity to show those around me how I trust and obey Jesus Christ. His love for me is beyond words, and until I see His face I won't fully grasp it. And even when I see Him I may never fully grasp His love for me. There is not enough time in eternity for my finite mind to figure it out.

I am excited and eager to walk more by faith. At times I know my faith has been weak, and my heart hurts at the thought that someone watching me noticed me living more by sight then by faith. But by the grace of God, I am becoming what I am meant to be in Christ. As Paul puts it in Philippians 3:14, I press on for the goal of the prize in the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

It is one of the reasons why for me to live is Christ. I want the prize! I'm racing towards that because nothing on earth compares. I want my life to show that truth! I look forward to growing in righteousness and holiness because of Jesus Christ's work on the cross. He paid for my sins and took upon Himself my wrath. I don't deserve the life God has given me. Even in my worst events it would still be grace upon grace. I desire with all I have to live a life of faith seeking God's kingdom and God's righteousness. Its in my blood, and the more I live the more I am eager to be home with Him.

We live in a world that is divided by a line. On one side of the line is the things of this world, and on the other side is the things of the Lord. As a Christian, I should be walking in such a manner that my life shines forth "to live is Christ!" Oh how I long for my life to be lived in that manner. How awesome that would look to not even have to say a word and be known for having radical faith for Christ. I desire to do the will of my Father in heaven. To trust and obey, because there is no other way I want to live my life.

I am thankful that God has revealed Himself to me. He is my everything. I don't need anything else but Him. In faith I believe God in all that He has promised me as His child. Its truly truly amazing grace, that once His enemy, now seated at His table. It is just mind blowing to think about, and oh how I can get lost in the wonder of the cross. May His power increase in me. May His power working in and through me cause me to walk worthy of the high calling He has given me as His child. To live is Christ, and any other way is a wasted life. Striving to keep Him at the center of all that I am in Him!
