Walking By Faith
Robin Ware

Walking by faith is one of the shortest and yet most powerful sentences a believer can say. As a single woman over the age of 40 and small business owner, this is my life's testimony. The world wants you to believe that there is something wrong with a life like mine because I'm still single and childless.

They want you to believe that if you aren't keeping up with the Joneses and that you aren't living a fulfilled life. Pretty hilarious, huh? I know that I'm God's best and as I walk by faith, He is completing me as I joyfully tell my teasers that my life is more complete than theirs.

As you walk out your dreams, here are some great tips to ensure that walking by faith is an enjoyable experience:

1. Pray that God will reveal to you his desires for your life. It's a mature walk when you can honestly confess to God that you want his desires to be your desires and to break you until you're walking in harmony.

2. Become disciplined in your time with God. Be honest with yourself and admit you aren't studying enough and you aren't sure how to study. Consider a bible reading program that will direct you to read the Bible in a Year.

You have it in you to do this. 2 Timothy 2:15 teaches us to "be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth".

3. Surround yourself with others that are walking by faith in this season. As a Girl Scout, I was taught to make new friends but keep the old; it's the same concept. It's time to grow in all areas of your life this year. Don't be afraid to cut sub-tractors, distractors, and whiners out of your life.

4. Celebrate others when their harvests arrive. It's a great sign that you are next!

5. Sow where you want to grow. Find a mentor and devote (sow) time to work with them. Work with a servant's heart. Be committed, dedicated and trustworthy.

As you walk by faith, you will strengthen your belief and grow in confidence in knowing that you can be all that God said you could be no matter where you began your journey. You will now understand that challenges are merely new opportunities for you to reach your greatness.

Finally, your life will truly be blessed. Everything that you touch will provide you with a blessed life and no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

I just thank God for your life and for the wonderful piece on Walking by Faith! I was in a rather dry place but I now feel rejuvenated, watered, restored, PRAISE GOD! I was especially challenged by discipline with my time spent with God and in His word and also sowing into where I want to grow. So as I walk in harmony with His will for my life I look forward to those He will be placing in my path and in my life, who will mentor me for His glory. God bless you again for a wonderful piece written from the heart.

Thank you so much for your article today. It is right on target for me. There are many things I need to change so that I may have a closer walk with God. What you said shows me what changes need to be made and how to go about it.

Robin Ware, I really need to hear, and read this devotional today. I thought that I was not doing what I was suppose to do, but now I have conformation that I am doing the right thing walking by faith and not by sight. Be a business owner in my early 40's and childless, I know that GOD IS ABLE to do what he said he would do. Thanks and God Bless.

What an awesome message this morning. I so very much enjoy getting my Streaming Faith Daily Devotional, and today was my day to hear a word from the Lord! Walking by Faith, wow! God is so good, because every time I have a question, if I don't hear directly from God, He has someone waiting for me to come by to let me know His answer. This morning was one of those days to hear from Him and from someone else, what a confirmation!

My biggest question to God has been, where do I fit in in His plan. Waiting for Him to show me has been one of the harder things for me to do. God has brought me so far in the past several months. At times it has been hard and very painful, but the rewards have far exceeded the growth.

Sister Robin Ware, Thank You for "hearing" God speak to you, if this devotional touches no one else, it HAS touched me this morning. You spoke the words God wanted me to hear today. God bless you!

Ms. Ware, thank you for such an awesome Word from God. As I read your article, I felt as if I was reading my own life on that page. Thank you.

Bravo to a fellow sister-in-arms! I am 29, single and don't find myself dreaming of kids and a house in the suburbs. I don't struggle with finding time for God and the New Testament even says it's best to remain single. There! How you like them apples? Can someone tell the Christian community and my grandmother that single people are not diseased!
