Walk by FAITH not by SIGHT

My typical morning ritual of reading my devotionals and just spending a few quiet minutes with God, before the hustles and bustles of my work day, I came across this scripture:

2 Corinthians 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

This instantly reminded me of how I almost always look at plans I have personally and professionally and never the capital or resources I need up front.  I know now that when God gives me His vision of a task He wants me to carry out, He always provide the necessary tools I need.  When I say tools, I mean the financial resources, volunteers, venues, supplies, equipment, whatever it is that is needed, He provides for me.

I want to tell you that it's a simple as that and that I wait on the Lord to fight all of my battles.  Chile please, I stress over events, registrations and the likes of the work I do and the ways I live like most folks, but my faith sustains me not to WORRY about a single thing.  Now that takes some spiritual discipline.  It's easier for us to believe what we can actually see rather than claiming and speaking of things into existence.  I once had a dream that I would be ministering to a multitude of people and once I shared that dream, most people said that in that dream, God had called me into the ministry to become a pastor.  I knew that wasn't the exact details of that particular dream.  I knew He called me to be a motivational speaker and that I would heal His lands through the words of encouragement, empowerment and comfort that the Holy Spirit placed inside of me.  This dream happened before an y books I've published, workshops I've facilitated and any motivational speaking engagements I've booked.  The sight that you see now in my life is the results of my faith, long ago of that dream I had.  I prayed and decreed that God said it and showed me in that dream His purpose for me and now I have the luxury of living a purposed fill life, currently.

A lot of victims of domestic violence want to know what they will be getting themselves into if they exit that toxic relationship.  They want to know where their gonna live, how to feed their children, get income to provide for them, etc.  They want all of that to be CONFIRMED before they take one step forward to living a new life.  It never once crosses their mind that all God wants is for them to take ONE step over their line of fears, worry and doubts and TRUST HIM to provide of their needs after they walk by faith and not by what their immediate sight, sees.

When I left my marriage, I couldn't tell you what was to happen next but the comfort I did have was that my faith said whatever lies ahead for ME is for ME!  Yes I cried some nights because I was broke, brokenhearted, confused, not enough education for certain positions that I knew I could do..... oh but God wiped those tears and put me in a position that has lead to plenty of NEW opportunities and blessings.

If you're not a victim of domestic violence and you're trying to start your own business, write a book or anything that you don't see happening in the natural, now, walk by faith and not by sight and watch God work wonders in your favor in your life.  I'm a witness for what God does if you pray without ceasing and believing and walking into what you've prayed for even BEFORE it happens.
