Running By Faith

Today’s devotion link is from the Proverbs 31 Ministries Daily Devotions Blog called Running By Faith.  “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7.

As I read this I can not tell you how much it really reflects in my own life.  I tend to carry the burdens of my life around with me and to walk by faith is walking without this extra “weight of burdens” on my shoulders.  I need to release it to God.  Its not that I don’t believe that God will take care of this ruts in the road for me, just the way I was brought up and not having someone to go to, to listen to me or to hear from my own mother who did not want to listen, support or comfort, I had to deal with it on my own.  No I don’t have to do that, but I have walked that path for so long, its hard for me to not end up back on that path.  Does that make sense?  I guess it sort of like old habits are hard to break.  So I pray that God continue to be patient with me when I do stray back to this path and to help me realize at that very moment I am going the wrong way.  Sometimes I do feel as if I need to run away and perhaps that is God saying to run back to him, off this path I have walked for much too long!!
