Walking by faith is a daily challenge. One reason is that walking this way feels like walking on clouds blindfolded. So then God tells us that we walk by faith and not by sight(2 Cor. 5:7). Even though we are taught that whatever is not of faith is not of God, our whole mundane existence and experience calls to our fears. From the primal screams of the just born to the mournful scream of our earth experiences, to our last breath we are drawn to our fears. So then God's word tells us that we should let our faith protect our vital parts (1 Thess. 5:8).
Faith is about hope and God always call us to hope(Jer. 29:11), a hope that He has exquisitely laid out for us in the Bible. We are to contend for this faith by comporting and acquitting ourselves as men (generic) (1 Cor. 16:13) who have a hope that is as glorious as God has shown us. Walk by faith and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. (Gal. 5:16)
