YOUR FAITH WALK

by Idaline Prince

“Faith is the evidence of things unseen.” Hebrews 11:1

One day after sunset, my husband and I went for a walk. There were no lights or proper walkways then. As we walked further into the dark, I was afraid of every step I took forward. I asked him to flash the light from his mobile so that we would know where to place our foot. But his response was quite an interesting one. He asked me to place my hand in his. I did and asked for the flashlight again. He replied, “I’m holding our hand, all you need is to enjoy the walk.”

You see, faith is more than just believing and saying you believe. True faith is believing and surrendering to that belief. Virgin Mary surrendered to this faith and she believed that what the angel told her would come to pass and she was called Blessed.

True faith is not just lip service. It’s about getting out of your comfort zone to the point that you’re willing to step off the edge of safe and sure. Abraham heard and obeyed God’s voice and he stepped out of his comfort zone, his cultural and social bubble and marched onto an unknown land which God promised to show him. His destination was obscure but he placed his hand in the hand of the one who called him and stepped out in faith.

When you wonder, “Where’s this going? Where will I end up? How will my future look?” all you need to do is, remember who is holding your hand! 

How does your perspective on difficult circumstances change when you view them through the lens of God’s precious promises?
