for we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7
Faith is measured by your feet, not by your feelings. Feelings change based on circumstances, or how things are going on around you. If times are good, you’re going to be up; when times are bad, you’re going to be down. You can’t base your faith on your feelings; you must base it on your feet.
Faith is acting like something is so even when it is not so in order that it might be so simply because God said so. Each of us has been given a measure of it and we are all commanded to walk in it.
Dr. T Tony Evans
That means faith is measurable. It’s not a mysterious thing that you can’t tell whether you have it or not. You can always know which way your feet are moving, which way your decisions are taking you, so your faith follows that. When you define faith by the moving of your feet, then it becomes very real in your life. In fact, you can be operating by faith even when the feelings are in the opposite direction. Also, you can feel full of faith when you’re actually faithless, because your feet are not moving at all.
So, become a person of great faith by being a person of great movement. The bigger you make God in your life and your movements consistent with the scope of His size, the greater your faith will be.
Keep moving with your feet, in spite of how you feel. The greater the movement, the greater the faith.
Today’s Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, You bless me every day, and yet I still find it difficult to fully trust You. Please help me to walk by faith, no matter the circumstances, always trusting that You will come through for me. Amen.
Today’s Action: Before you can walk by faith, you must stop walking by any other means. “ you choose this path, you must be willing to get out of your comfort zone, to run from the Americanized brand of Christianity that so many of us have known our entire lives. You must be willing to let God take your world and turn it upside down, shake it up, and start all over again.”
