The Word tells us to “walk by faith and not by sight”. Abba God has been whispering these words into my heart repeatedly the last few months. It has been a little disconcerting. My faith in Him for salvation and living with Him forever in Eternity is probably the largest “walk by faith” belief I hold in my heart. But when I stopped to consider, there is so much more.

In my life:

Believing that Abba would send the husband I needed. He did.

Believing my children would not lose the vision in their right eye. They did not lose vision.

Believing He knew best when our parents were terminally ill. I still trust that He did.

Protecting our children in their teen years. He did.

Believing our children would give their life to Yeshua. They have.

Protection from danger, harm, diaster.

Believing He would restore and protect Baxter’s business when an arsonist burned our city block down. He did.

Walking with us to this seventh decade of life and the fifth decade of marriage. He has preserved our life.

This is just us.

What about our fathers of faith?

Abraham did father a child of promise besides other children. They have become as numerous as the sand of the sea. Just as God said.

Jacob saw the ladder reaching to Heaven on his journey to his mother’s people. He promised to serve God if God brought him back. He did.

David was promised an eternal throne. Jesus fulfilled that promise.

Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come. And on Pentecost, He did just that.

He has promised us salvation, forgiveness, and restoration. All made possible by the finished work of Christ. Not just that He died…but that He came out of that grave…He ascended into Heaven… He sits at our Father’s right hand. He has promised we will live with Him forever.

So when we lay this flesh aside…and we walk into Eternity…our faith will become sight…one more time.

Hallelujah!
