"We walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV
Impalas are one of the most powerful animals in Africa. They can leap to a height of more than ten feet and cover more than thirty feet in one jump. Yet the impala can be kept in an enclosure with a fence that's no more than three feet high. Why? Because it won't jump unless it can see where its feet will land. In a sense, impalas walk by sight, not faith. What does it mean to "walk?" To put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward a step at a time. What does it mean to have "faith?" To trust the Lord, obeying His Word regardless of how things look or feel to you. Now, faith doesn't do away with intelligent thought and reason won't take you another step, faith keeps right on going. Why? Because intelligent thought and reason hold the hand of man and go only as far as he can travel, whereas faith holds the hand of God, the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way. That was Abraham's story: "[Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go" (Heb 11:8 AMPC). Are you anxious about the future? Don't be; just take the next step of faith, and you will be one step closer to the blessings and rewards that God has in mind for you.
