2 Corinthians 5:7
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
We celebrate Bible heroes for their courage, but courage was only the surface. Underneath ran a single current: faith. They lived the truth of 2 Corinthians 5:7, walking by faith and not by sight.
Abraham left home without a map, trusting the God who simply said, “Go.” Noah hammered an ark together under cloudless skies, believing in rain he had never seen. Moses turned his back on Egypt’s palace and chose the rougher road with God’s people. Israel stepped into the Red Sea with Pharaoh thundering behind them and water towering on either side. None of them walked because the path looked safe or sensible. They walked because God had spoken, and His word weighed more than their fear. That is faith. It moves before the answers arrive, because it trusts the One who lights the way.
Walk by faith. Trust God enough to take the next step before the whole road is in view.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Father, give me courage to trust Your voice, step into the unknown, and walk by faith even when the path is unclear.
