The world which we live in is filled with undiscovered wonders. Things that we never knew existed are revealed to humanity each day. These discoveries keep us wondering about the next amazing things yet to be found in the land of the living. It is as though God wants us to be exposed to his nature and wonders a little bit at a time, not all at once. Are you discovering new and different things in your life?
The next time you walk in the woods, stop and think about what’s taking place right under your feet. As the roots of the trees connect with each other, they form a support system. One has access to water, another to nutrients, and another to sunlight of life. No single tree has it all, but together they can grow, thrive, and withstand the storms of life. Nature is embedded in God’s support system.
So, it is with humanity. We are connected to each other. Not one person can supply all that is necessary to sustain them. We must have faith that God supplies what we need. Albert Einstein, perhaps the world’s greatest scientist, said, “The deeper one penetrates into nature’s secrets, the greater becomes one’s respect for God.” And Sir Isaac Newton said, “The most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being.” Let’s take a moment to discover life’s transforming truth about world systems that requires our faith.
There is a biblical passage that says without faith it is impossible to believe unless “we walk by faith and not by sight.” Walking requires that you get up and start moving. You can’t just sit around aimlessly, waiting for things to happen. Walking involves motivation that requires moving with a purpose in mind.
Walking requires us to choose a direction to our destination in pursuit of a goal. Walking requires motion committed to mobilizing your energy and resources in the pursuit of your God-given destination and purpose in life. To walk by faith, you must be engaged in consistent, forward movement that is intended to bring you to a destination in your life. So, keep the faith and enjoy all that God has provided. Never Give Up! Never Give Up! Never Give Up! Never Give Up!
