Today’s Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:1-9
Today’s Verse: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV
I love looking up at the cloudless blue sky.
It is a beautiful part of God’s great masterpiece. One that was given for us to enjoy.
Some pilots even describe a perfect sky for flying as “You can see to tomorrow.”
We know that “seeing to tomorrow is outside of our view.
Because we are already struggling to see or understand what life is throwing our way today.
The Bible tells us, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14 KJV).
It is good to know our limited visibility is not cause for despair. Just the opposite.
We know that God sees all of our tomorrows perfectly.
He knows what we need as we face the challenges ahead.
The Apostle Paul even acknowledged this.
That is why he encourages us with these hopeful words, “we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV).
Faith is for this world, and sight is for the other world.
It is our duty to walk by faith, till we live by sight.
There will be happiness to be enjoyed by the souls of all believers.
We can cheerfully walk with Him because we know He knows what is ahead.
That He is strong enough and wise enough to handle anything we face.
Trusting in God with our day as well as our unseen tomorrows means we do not have to worry about anything life throws our way.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Lord, we know that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” We put our trust in You for today and the days ahead. We are walking by faith and not by sight. Knowing that we can make it through any hardships or trials. We are thankful that You are kind, good, loving, wise, and powerful. That You are always looking out for us. Thank You for teaching us what it means not to worry about what the day may bring. But to enjoy the beauty that is around us. The beauty found in Your loving grace. Thank You for Your unconditional love.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
