Living by faith is a learned response to experiencing God’s keeping power during the trials in life. These faith building experiences increase our faith to the point that we are able to become intentional in our endeavor to live by faith. We begin to recognize that we can’t take everything at “face” value, because when you’re on a faith walk, things are not always the way they appear. Living by faith means that you face each day with confidence, knowing that there’s nothing that will occur that God can’t handle.
We live by faith, not by sight.
II Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)
Prayer for today – Today, in faith, I declare my confidence in You and in the promises of your word. What appears right now to be a stumbling block, by faith, I say it’s a stepping stone.

A most encouraging word this morning for me. As I reflect on my faith walk I can say that I’ve covered alot of ground and have more to tread. But knowing that I’m not alone on the journey helps me to endure.
