Walk by faith. Not by sight.

Jesus Calling--February 1:

FOLLOW ME ONE STEP AT A TIME. That is all I require of you. In fact, that is the only way to move through this space/time world. You see huge mountains looming, and you start wondering how you're going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because you're not looking where you're going, you stumble on the easy path where I am leading you now. As I help you get back on your feet, you tell Me how worried you are about the cliffs up ahead. But you don't know what will happen today, much less tomorrow. Our path may take an abrupt turn, leading you away from those mountains. There may be an easier way up the mountains than is visible from this distance. if I do lead you up the cliffs, I will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. I will even give My angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways. 
         Keep your mind on the present journey, enjoying My Presence. Walk by faith, not by sight, trusting ME to open up the way before you. 


I sometimes fall behind in my Jesus Calling reading, okay actually a lot...but tonight I thought about it and opened up and saw today's post and it was exactly what I needed. I often find myself not "keeping my mind on the present journey" and I hate that. I get so caught up in school and my daily life that I forget what it's all about. I'm constantly worrying about what I'm doing with my life and where I'm going to end up and how I'm going to get there that I forget God has a plan for everyone including me. He really does. And although, I may have no idea what it is now, he we will equip me for the strenuous climb up the cliff. (that was a little cheesy but whatever).

Walk by faith.
Not by sight.
