I can't always see where I'm going, but I know where I've been.
Walking by faith can be a little nerve wracking. Walking forward, when God has asked you to move in a specific direction can be scary and your steps can feel uncertain.
However, there is some good news. The trick to walking forward in trusting God, is to take a peak backward every once in a while.
When you can see all of the places God showed up and led you through, walking in faith in a new area isn't so scary.
To know God is walking you through things, to see how He's been with you, how He's pointed you and guided you. There's confidence in knowing you are never alone and never without Him.
Hebrews says, "By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, 'It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.' Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death."
How could Abraham walk with faith and follow through with God's request to sacrifice Isaac? God had already walked him through so many things, how could he not trust God? Abraham could find all of the spiritual markers in his life by looking backward...and then he could look forward to what God was calling him to, and take that first step of faith.
Have you been thinking of all the ways God has worked in your life?
Have you peaked over your shoulder and spotted your Father with you the whole time?
Where is He guiding you now?
Are you ready to take that first step of faith?
