How's Your Faith Today

How's Your Faith Today?

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal ... We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 4:18; 5:7

I find myself doing battle so often with this faith walk. Right now we are in one of those weeks were finances are very tight and the bills are piling up, and we are waiting on God for HIS supply. I would like to think that after 13 years of seeing God provide, that I would have learned the lesson of trust ... I am obviously a very slow learner.

I am thankful that I came across this reading today:

Faith looks to God as the Source - sights trusts in possessions, power, and people.
Faith focuses on "Who" -- sight is limited to "how."
Faith measures the SIZE of God -- sight is controlled by the size of the problem.
Faith seeks God FIRST -- sight takes matters into its own hands.
Faith waits on God -- sight rushes ahead with self-solutions.
Faith is based on what GOD said --sight is based on how we feel.
Faith's seeing-eye guide is the Bible -- sight's guide is only what is visible.
Faith looks beyond the circumstances to the possibilities -- sight looks at how bad things are at the moment.
Faith believes God even when it seems NOTHING is happening -- sight is controlled by senses and feelings.
Faith doesn't require that it works out on paper -- sight demands facts and figures first.
Faith leaves it in God's hands -- sight picks it back up and worries and frets about it.

Wow! I needed that this morning. How is your faith today? Are you walking by sight? Or are you walking by faith. Lord, help me to be a faith-walker. -- Bill Welte is President of America's KESWICK
