Tonight's message at Lighthouse at the Clubhouse: Walking by faith

Psalm 119:105 – Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
II Corinthians 5:7 – For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Shut your eyes. Try walking to the bathroom with your eyes shut. It’s no fun trying to something when you can’t see. You might bump into something. You might trip over something. You may run into a wall. You may step on someone.

But that’s how we walk through life. We don’t know what’s going to happen in life. James 4:14 says, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” We don’t know what tomorrow holds. It might be something great. Or it might hold a serious car wreck. Or bad news from the doctor. We simply don’t know.

But there is good news. The psalmist told us that God’s word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Jesus told us in Matthew 6:25-34 to not worry because God takes care of it all. And Paul said that we walk by faith, not sight. 

And it’s hard. It’s hard to walk a path when all you can see is just in front of your feet. It’s sometimes hard to trust in Someone that you can’t see with your eyes. But it’s way better than walking blind. God knows how the story ends before it even starts. He said that He would never leave nor forsake us. He is faithful. Romans 8:28 said that if we love the Lord, everything is working for our good. So trust Him. He has our backs and everything in front of us.

Now shut your eyes and try walking to the bathroom. But this time take someone’s hand. And let them lead you. You won’t be able to move fast. But if you follow them, you’ll make it. That’s how walking by faith works!
