This is a Faith Walk

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.” Psalm 37:23-24

Believe it or not, your steps are ordered by God. As a believer in Christ you do not have to walk alone. You have the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help you figure it out along the way. Everything will not be mapped out for you but you can rest assured knowing that you are not on this journey by yourself. It takes complete reliance on God's divine wisdom for your life for you to reap what was promised to you. But first you have to make it up in your mind that you are going to walk by faith and not by your emotions.

Well, you might be thinking - better said than done­­. How can I follow blindly when everything is going to the left? It’s not easy to come into agreement when you don’t know the next turn but the beauty of the matter is, you don’t need to because God does. Yet, God wants us to follow him wholeheartedly so that we can avoid getting off course. The kind of detours that will set us back because of our lack of faith. However, God knows us best and he factored in every mistake we will make along the way, the moments when we will ignore his signs or the temptations we choose to give into because the shortcut seemed promising when trying to achieve our goals sooner.

With all of that in mind, falling down is expected. You will fall, you will make mistakes, and you will try shortcuts along the way that will lead to nowhere. Don’t be disheartened. God is still with you and he will not cast you away. Apart of the walk is to grow in faith with every step taken, mistakes included.

Although you may feel tired or cast down, you are built to always get up again. God is the one that is keeping you in your time of weakness and distress. His hands are able! There is no greater hands to trust with your life, family, ministry, business or situation.

Don’t Settle

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” 2 Peter 1:3-4

Don't give up on God's vision for your life and don't settle for where you are. Anything less is living below God's standards for you. The enemy does not want you to walk in purpose and live a god driven life. He preys on our unsubmitted fears and insecurities to frustrate, distract, discredit, and discourage us. When we submit all of our cares, fears and insecurities to God believing that he will guide us through all of them by his Spirit; we are free to walk in ordered steps unafraid.

There is a freedom in being completely vulnerable and transparent with God. He knows everything we are faced with and the struggles we are going through daily. Yet, he gently reminds us that HIS grace is sufficient for us, to keep us moving towards what he has called us to do. As a believer, we have access to the promises of God and knowing those promises is key to unlocking his vision, while uplifting our soul with the encouragement and hope we need to get back on track.

When you feel stuck in life don’t entertain thoughts of failure. If you are noticing an unhealthy pattern in your life, it’s time to seek the word for deliverance. You may feel like it’s the last thing you want to do, but it should be the first thing that you run to. The word will bring focus and divine alignment that you have been waiting for. Be patient with yourself! God understands and he will lead you by his Spirit if you let him. Everything you are experiencing will turn around for your good regardless of what it looks and feels like now.

A Hope that doesn't Disappoint

"And this hope will never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. He gave us his love through the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to us." Romans 5:5

Life will throw many curve balls but we still have a hope in God that will enable us to overcome. Our testing and trials will only draw us closer and make us stronger in the Lord. There is power in hoping in God, he holds our tomorrows and give us strength to endure. Nothing can prepare us for loss, tragedy or trauma that occurs suddenly in our lives, but God is faithful in providing his Holy Spirit to help us get through our most difficult times. So, when you feel like you can't make it another day, remember the LOVE God has for you and the friend, comforter and counsel of the Holy Spirit.

The scripture tells us that God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. Some hearts might be broken and shattered due to disappointments but he comes to mend, heal and fill our hearts with his love. You are not alone, God is with you. You are not forgotten, he knows your name. Though the storm clouds may hover, the blessing of the Lord is still upon your life. Hope in God! God doesn't change, if he delivered you before he will do it again. If he healed you before he will do it again. Your deliverance and healing might not be the way you imagined but know that his will is perfect.

When we hope in God, we are reminding him how much we depend on his word and trust his direction for our lives. So when you can't see your way, ask the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you in the way that you should go.
