CONQUER JERICHO

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding.

 

WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT

Faith is a gift from GOD so that we might know the Heart of GOD; that we might know His ways and walk in them. Faith is both substance and evidence of things unseen and hoped for (Hebrews 11:1).  Many people over look the first word in the Hebrews passage, it is "Now". Now faith is seeing with the eye of GOD NOW, and knowing that what He has promised in His Word, He will accomplish IN HIS TIME. 

 

Many people say that belief and faith are the same thing, I have heard a good distinction between these two. Faith is from GOD by His Holy Spirit; belief is our act of following the Holy Spirit.  It is like joining hands; faith from GOD, belief from us and they link hands and walk side by side. 

 

It takes trust to join hands with another and walk with them. If we lean on our own understanding, we will trip and fall, not being able to see. Sight comes from staying linked with JESUS who is the Light. He has given us enough faith, now we must believe and trust. 

 

THE LORD IS OUR LIGHT AND OUR SALVATION, WHOM THEN SHALL WE FEAR.
