2 Corinthians 5:7 "We walk by faith, not by
sight."
The inspired writers of Scripture did not use the phrase walk by faith in a random way. Those three words are there for a purpose. The Bible doesn’t tell us to sprint by faith; it tells us to walk by faith. To walk speaks of continual, regulated motion. The Bible says Enoch walked with God. Many believers have their bursts of energy. For a few months, they run. Then they collapse for a while. They need to learn what it is to walk with God.
Of course, most of us like things fast. We have microwave dinners, e-mail, cell phones, and instant messaging. We have so much technology to make our lives a little easier and, most importantly, faster. But there are no shortcuts in the Christian life. It's a day-by-day process.
The Bible declares that the just shall live by faith — not by feeling, not by emotion, not by fear, not by worries — by faith. As we are walking by faith day by day, month by month, and year by year, we are being transformed according to God's will.
