When the scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that the just shall walk by faith and not by sight, many of us don't live out what it means. In other words, we live in hope by believing it will come. Faith is not in the future; it is in the now; it is a done deal.
Think of yourself as a child who is hungry and knows his or her mum made lunch. You are aware or you know that your mum made lunch, and NOT would make lunch. Even though you haven’t seen it, you know lunch is ready. The same applies to us as Sons and Daughters of God, when we are asked to walk by faith, not sight. We are to believe it is a done deal.
When the children of Israel approached Jericho, the LORD told Joshua, their leader, that He had given Jericho and everything in it into their hands. At the time the LORD said this, Jericho was still standing tall, very fortified, with its wall so tall that houses were built on it (ref. Joshua 2:15, 6:2). But Joshua, by faith, saw Jericho in his hands, just as the child knew lunch was ready.
As Sons and Daughters of God, we are to see God as our Father and treat Him as one, because He really is one. Trust what He says, and believe that all you will ever need has been provided to you by grace. And we receive this grace through faith, by acting as a Son or Daughter to a Father which is shown by trusting Him.
Trust in the LORD with all your hearts, and do not lean on your own understanding (ref.: Proverbs 3:5). He does all the worrying for us, ours is to just become Sons and Daughters to Him as He leads us, we are to trust Him that it is done, no matter what we may see that is contrary. Just because He said He sorted out your financial issues, believe it is done. Just because He said He sorted out your health issues, believe it is done, and whatever may come our way.
Remember to always follow His leading because we trust Him, and whatever He says. We are Sons and Daughters to Him and we are to live as one.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
