What does it mean to walk by faith, not by sight? (Part Five)

When we’re walking by faith, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:7, we’re not relying on what’s visible or predictable. Instead, we’re choosing to live by what we know of God’s character. Walking by faith means moving forward based on our confidence in God, even when life doesn’t give us immediate answers or easy paths. It means taking the next step in obedience, even if the path ahead is unclear, just as Abraham left his home without knowing his destination (Hebrews 11:8, Genesis 12:1-4). It’s an invitation to align our lives with God’s promises and lean on His wisdom, putting His guidance above any fear or doubt we might have. Walking by faith gives courage to trust God’s timing when we want answers now. It takes strength to lean on Him when life feels shaky. And it takes surrender to let God lead, believing that He truly knows what’s best. It’s a journey of trust that transforms our lives from the inside out. Be encouraged to walk by faith, not by sight!
