Between the promise & the outcome: walking by faith

I’m believing in your promise, Lord. Several days after staking my claim (see Three more feet…), that had been my prayer. Yet I’d already become weary in that gap between the promise and the outcome. “Wait on the Lord.” While not audible, these words spoke to my spirit—reminding me that as believers, we walk by faith, not by sight. Which means continuing to believe in the promises of God, although we have yet to see the “fruit.” But it takes more than trust; it requires action. Because even in the wait, we’re called to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. And if we commit our ways to the Lord, He will act. This strengthens our trust muscles. Even when we face opposition, we can rest in the knowledge that as long as God has called us to it, He will equip us for it. And when our faith is tested, our endurance—patience—has an opportunity to grow.

How has your faith been tested lately?
