It is exciting to me when the Holy Spirit peels off another layer of Scripture because it allows me to fall in love with the Words written all over again:
For we live by faith, not by sight
2 Corinthians 5:7
This is such a well-known verse that we use to encourage each other (usually) when life isn’t making sense
I have always described it as walking in a fog because it doesn’t change what’s happening around you, but when God has a view from above, He can guide you clearly through life, each step of the way
Yet, this morning, the Holy Spirit kept pausing me for a second on “for we live” meaning in this life we have to live by faith, yet that made me realise that the life we are promised when we walk by faith, is sight
This life is always about what is to come, and God’s promises have still been directing us to live with Him, for eternity
Friends, think about how beautiful it will be to have to an eternity of seeing God every step we take…that means there will be no more guessing…no more wondering about whether our faith is strong enough…and therefore, no more doubt because although we are walking with God each day throughout our lives now, imagine how our journeys will look in the next lifetime when God says step, yet we can see Him
I don’t know about you, but in eternity I wouldn’t just step, I would take huge leaps!
So today, I want to ask you, if you know that God is asking something of you, then what’s the difference between now, and eternity? Let’s walk blindly with God because whether it’s in this lifetime or the next, the common factor here is, God is still God
