Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Today's Thought: Following the Word of God will never go wrong.
Corrie ten Boom once said: Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. Rather than trying to understand our future, let us learn to trust God and just live according to His Word. It is not about seeing the obstructions ahead, but it is knowing whom you are listening to.
We cannot clearly see the path in front of us. But the Lord does. He knows full well what will happen tomorrow, next week or next year. He knows every part and event of our lives. God knows the exact place and moment of our death, even. We don't need more information, we need more faith.
If we will walk by faith and not by sight we will have confidence on our Lord. Let us try to understand what is happening around us, but let us learn to trust Him who understands it all.
