WALKING BY FAITH

WALKING BY FAITH - "Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase," Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, echoing something the Apostle Paul had written 1900 years earlier: "We walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).  Sometimes in life we must take on faith the first steps of a personal decision, new direction, or commitment to doing what we know deep in our hearts is the right thing to do, not being able to see the path before us and where it eventually will take us.  But if we are convinced deep in our hearts that the decision, direction, or commitment is the right thing to do, surely those first steps taken by faith will, in the end, lead us where we need to go.
