We were at a class and the topic of discussion that came up was about faith "what does faith mean to me" to be exact. After spending some time thinking about what faith means to me I came up with what I believe is the accurate definition of what faith is in my life.
Faith
"A peaceful and confident journey, trusting and knowing that Jesus is walking with me while God is ahead of anything that I face whether good or bad but either way ending with the gift of eternal life"
What would our life really look like if we actually lived this out? What effect will this have on your marriage? Imagine waking up each morning, opening your eyes to see Jesus right there ready and waiting to walk out the day with you. What would that feeling be like? Would you feel intimidated, confident, nervous, on guard, safe, loved? How would this change your actions, behaviors and responses through the day?
I mean, we say we have faith but we wait to encounter difficult situations to pray out to God often seeking resolve for what we go through but how about if walk out in faith ahead of time? Think how different our lives would be, how many setbacks we would avoid, how many arguments would we prevent if we actually walked out the faith we speak about, pray about and learn about.
I challenge you to start your day imagining Jesus walking besides you each day so that you can enjoy a peace that surpasses all understanding, so that you can experience true relationship with our Father during your time here on Earth. Psalm 121:8 says "The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore" Let us embrace this scripture and really believe what we say we believe as God is already ahead of anything we can encounter.
