Love you all, praying for you,
Have you noticed that every person has some things that are distinctly them? Their smile, their eyes, their voice, their laugh, its an identifier, unique, unmistakably them. Here’s another. Their walk. You can tell someone from far away just by their walk. Some are famous for it - whether George Jefferson, John Wayne, Gisele Bundchen, Denzel, John Travolta, or my personal favorite - the Mall Cop – when He’s just done playin’ around. More than just the sequence of movement, or exchanging your feet in front of each other – some say your walk says a lot about you. According to a study by the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior - it can reveal not only present mood, but personality traits as well. God says our walk is very important. God says your walk says a lot about who you are. Even a child is known by his walk (his conduct) whether his actions are good and right. II Corinthians 5:7 – For we walk by faith and not by sight. Walks are developed. This walk is deeper than just bodily movement – it means to tread all around – walk at large, deport oneself – which means how you carry yourself, how you live, to go, or be occupied with. Paul said, for those who follow Christ, it changes your walk, it changes how you move, and live, what you’re occupied with. God says – we walk by faith, and not by sight. What we believe, not what we see. What is faith? Speaking and Acting like what God says is true… no matter what things look like right now. So how’s your walk? What are you seeing? Does that matter to you? What did God say? Are you saying that? Or something else? What are you doing? The work of faith is obedience. Funny thing, your walk starts not with your feet, but with your mouth. Are you saying what God says? Are you obeying not just what God says, but what He also says to you? PiVAT before dinner – is faith practice, it’s working on your walk. If you missed PiVAT before dinner, just do it now? Your faith will be instantly put into action. First, that He will speak when you ask – and direct your steps. (He promised) Second, that His plans are better than yours (like heavens are above earth). Third, that what you heard was really him, and not just you… (He said He would direct you in the way you should go... what you see or feel doesn't matter - your feelings don’t outweigh His promise). And Fourth, that if you obey, if you follow what He said, it will turn out for your good. That’s faith practice, it’s walking by faith, and not by sight, it’s working on your walk – so you walk like one of His sons and daughters. He said His Word never comes up empty, so every time you do PRISM – you’re working on your walk. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by His Word. Do you ever ask yourself - What could I do today to walk by faith, and not by sight? What's the first thing God told me to do right now? Praying that you are working on your walk today. What did God tell you to do in this hour? It’s how you walk by faith, not by sight. Praying that you will be consistent in those things that help you walk by faith and not by sight, so you will look less like John Wayne, and more like Jesus. Love you all, dad
