"For we walk by faith, not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5: 7

"Therefore, faith is the certainty of what is expected, the conviction of what is not seen" Hebrews 11: 1.

Why is it that it is hard for us to believe what we do not see ?, and that sometimes it seems impossible to believe that when things are going bad things can change.

Sometimes we are so pessimistic that we touch total disbelief, we forget that we move in a supernatural environment and that who has the last word for everything is God.

What does it cost you to believe that God is incapable of doing? What makes you think that what happens to you does not interest God? Why do you look at everything in a negative way?

Today I want you to remember that we walk by faith not by sight, that is to say that we do not rely only on what we see, but on what we believe.

Walking by faith implies having absolute confidence that God can direct our life; it means being totally convinced that he really knows what is best for us (Psalm 119: 66).
When making decisions and acting accordingly, we take into account "realities that we do not see" (Hebrews 11: 1). These include the promised "new heavens and new earth" (2 Peter 3:13). On the other hand, walking by sight means letting our life be governed only by what we perceive through the senses. Such a course is dangerous because it can induce us to completely disregard God's will (Psalm 81:12, Ecclesiastes 11: 9).

The basis of our faith is what is written in the Word that promises us that we will witness great prodigies. God wants us to walk by faith and not by sight because our senses can deceive us. Faith is like the clearest of our senses.

The Word says that by faith we believe that what was not seen was done, since faith is the conviction of what is not seen. Everything created arose from the Word of God when there was nothing.
So no one can say that he lives by faith if he does not believe what he does not see. In addition, faith must be connected to the mouth, because the Bible says that if we confess what we believe, what we confess will be done. We must speak with faith of what we do not have but we will have, of what we have not achieved, but we will achieve.

If you want to stop worrying about your needs, have faith, think about a big dream and focus on achieving it. It does not mean that difficulties will disappear, but by focusing on higher goals, the urgent will be easier to achieve.

The Word tells us the story of Anna, mother of the prophet Samuel, who suffered for being sterile. Then, we read that Eli approached him and told him to go in peace and receive what he had asked for. Then, she did three things that teach us a lot about our correct attitude of faith.

First, he took his path. Hearing what he was told, he got up and moved forward. When you have faith, you take back what you left out of discouragement. God tells you to get up and walk! Do not deviate further, advance until you achieve what your faith has put before you.

Second, Ana ate, means that she regained the desire to live. When we fail in something we want to die. But our reason for living should always be the Lord, facing problems, victories and challenges. If we have faith in Him, nothing will take away the desire to move on.

Third, Ana was no longer sad because faith restored her optimism, even before she saw the final results. Crying helps us to vent, but no problem is solved by crying and faith helps us handle emotions. When you believe that you will receive what you long for, you resume your path, your life makes sense, and your emotions change for the better. This causes your attitude and your thoughts to improve, which allows you to achieve incredible results.

Do you see how everything is related and based on faith? To advance, you must dream big, believe, get up, follow your path, recover the sense of living and improve your attitude by putting aside negative emotions. This process of faith will lead you to success.

Ask the Lord to increase your measure of faith because you have dreams to achieve and miracles to witness. Assure him that you will follow the path he has set for you, recover the meaning of your life and change your emotions for the better. Grace Father for teaching us to live by faith!
