Living By Faith

What is faithful living? How do we live by faith? How do we daily step out in faith? How do we make wise decisions of faith?

At some point in our journey, we all wonder how we can live faithful and faith—filled lives.

Each of us must wisely discern and consider which steps are the best to take. And many times in life we have to walk by faith.

Sometimes we need to take a “giant leap of faith”. We have to trust God with the unknown and to make the next best decision in a string of decisions and steps into the future.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “For we live by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7, ESV).

Discerning the will of God for our lives requires trust—it requires living by faith.

Part of living by faith and stepping out in faith includes faithfully walking in the way God has set before us in his word.

The Psalmist writes, “I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.” (Psalm 119:30, NIV).

May we choose the way of faithfulness, and may we live by faith by setting our hearts on God and his word—on his Holy law—to give us wisdom, and to illuminate our way.

In Christ alone, Robbie

A Collect For Faith: “Lord Jesus Christ, by your death you took away the sting of death: Grant to us your servants so to follow in faith where you have led the way, that we may at length fall asleep peacefully in you and wake up in your likeness; for your tender mercies’ sake. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
