Walk by Faith.
\nFor we walk by faith, not by sight.\u00a0 2Corinthians 5:7.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every morning, we walk up and have a choice to make.\u00a0 Will we put our trust in God, or will we put our trust in man or in ourselves?<\/p>\n

Walking by faith is keeping our focus on God and His word to us no matter what we may be seeing happen around us.\u00a0 We might be walking through a tangled mess of problems, yet we can walk steady and sure without falling prey to worry or fear, if we keep our eyes on God and His promises to us.<\/p>\n

So, no matter what you might see in your world today, choose to walk through it in faith, and set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.<\/em> Colossians 3:2.<\/p>\n
