How to Study Bible Characters: Lessons from Their Lives
December 11, 2024Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:7
“For we live by faith, not by sight.”
Devotional Reflection:
Life often presents us with situations where the path ahead seems unclear. We crave certainty, yet we are reminded in Scripture that as followers of Christ, we are called to walk by faith, not by sight. This doesn’t mean ignoring reality or denying challenges but trusting in the unseen hand of God guiding us.
Faith is about confidence in God’s promises even when we don’t see the outcome. It’s about trusting His plan over our own understanding. When we walk by faith, we acknowledge that God is in control, even when circumstances seem chaotic or the future feels uncertain.
In the Bible, examples of faith are abundant. Abraham trusted God when called to leave his home for an unknown land. Moses led the Israelites through the Red Sea, relying on God’s power. These stories remind us that walking by faith leads to extraordinary outcomes—not because of our strength, but because of God’s faithfulness.
Today, whatever challenges or uncertainties you face, choose to walk by faith. Trust that God sees the full picture, even when we only see the next step. His promises are true, and His love is unwavering.
Application:
- Trust the Unseen: Reflect on areas in your life where you feel uncertain or hesitant. Commit these situations to God in prayer, trusting Him to guide you even when the outcome is unclear.
- Take the Next Step: Faith often requires action, even when the path ahead isn’t fully visible. Identify one small step you can take today in obedience to God, trusting that He will lead you forward.
- Remember God’s Faithfulness: Look back on times in your life when God came through for you. Let those memories strengthen your faith and remind you of His ability to guide and provide.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for calling me to walk by faith and not by sight. In moments of uncertainty, help me to trust in Your promises and rely on Your guidance. Teach me to release control and follow You, knowing that You see the full picture even when I don’t. Strengthen my faith today, and give me courage to take the next step in obedience to Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Closing Thought:
Walking by faith is a daily choice. It’s not always easy, but it allows us to experience God’s power and provision in ways we never could if we relied solely on what we see. Today, step out in faith and trust that God is leading you toward His perfect plan.
