Walking by faith part 2

Walking by faith

        I didn't think that one night would be enough to cover walking by faith, so I decided to continue with it. I think that this subject cannot be covered in one blog post due to it's vastness and the amount of stock that we as Christians should be putting into it.
       I finished last night by saying have a little faith, so what have you done today to increase your faith? Have you worked on that faith muscle at all? I know I know, why so many questions, but I ask you these questions to challenge you and to keep you motivated to walk by faith. 
        Remember that pilot that I was talking yesterday? I want you to put yourself in his place, you are the pilot. You see a pilot has to walk by faith, he believes that the engineers did a good job in building the plane he is flying, that the flight attendants are doing their job looking after the passengers, that the air Marshall is doing his job by protecting him, the crew and the passengers. God expects that type of faith from us. Oddly enough there is an analogy that I hate that kind of goes with this.
        God is my co-pilot, you know that bumper sticker that everyone seems to have. I HATE that bumper sticker, the co-pilot is only there in case of emergencies, he does nothing but sits there and makes casual conversation to the pilot. GOD WANTS TO BE YOUR PILOT! That is part of walking in faith, it's letting God have complete control of your life, and putting all of your faith and trust in Him. And as it is with human nature for the most part, it is an impossibility, all because we cannot see or touch God. We have true faith only in the things that are tangible to us. I can taste this, see that, hear over there, that is how I know it is real. 
        But God has called us to apart from the world, we are in the world but not of it, and it is hard for all of us to draw a line between the two. Once again you need faith to see past the ways of the world, you need faith to help set you apart from the world. "How foolish! Can't you see that faith without good deeds is useless?" James 2:20. Faith can only be achieved by acting upon it.
        


        But that is enough for tonight, it is late and I need to go to bed. So good night and God bless, remember to leave your comments below. 


        Remember to flex that muscle, and try and let go of that steering wheel.
