November 2016 at Caledonia Congregational Church

Friends-
Walking by faith means not always knowing where you are going.  It means trusting that God has got a better view of things than you have.  It means carrying on with the work you believe God called you to, even when that call seems faint or totally gone.  It means not caving under pressure to do what seems easier or more expedient, when deep in your heart you know what is right.

Walking by faith means sometimes you can't plan ahead.  It means sometimes you are asked to do things that everyone else says is just plain nuts.  It is about being willing to take risks, staking yourself to a life that seems impossible, and would be, if you tried it alone.

Jesus invites us to follow him.  He invites us to walk by faith.  Moment by moment, and day by day.  It is often not glamorous, and often lonely.  But Oh!  The rewards we are promised!

What is facing you right now?  What is challenging your faith?  Trust God.  Don't trust your own understanding.  He can be relied on.  Walk by faith.
Gary
