We walk by faith not by sight NKJ(unless stated)

[Mommyx2....]

The title of this journal is 2Cor 5:7.  I read this a while back and it got me thinking about  my unbelief...did I have any and why was it there, could I get rid of it, how?  When I began to walk by faith and not by sight (believing without seeing) that is when I saw all of the amazing things that we happening to me that were because of Him.  Some of these things had happened to me before, because God will gentling guide us to Him (but we have free will to go or not to go)

Psalm 73:23-25 (New King James Version)

 ²³ Nevertheless I am continually with You;
         You hold me by my right hand.
 ²⁴ You will guide me with Your counsel,
         And afterward receive me to glory.
         
 ²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but You?
         And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.

and...

Psalm 119:105
[ נNUN ] Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

I know this  also;

John 14:12 (King James Version)

 ¹²Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

When you believe you receive.

Can people prosper on earth without God? Yes, how do I know this? Look around there are millionares all over that do not believe in the God that I believe in...but their tressures are all here on earth mine are in both places Heaven and earth.

Matthew 6:24
[ You Cannot Serve God and Riches ] “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Matthew 6:19-21 (New Century Version)

¹⁹ "Don't store treasures for yourselves here on earth where moths and rust will destroy them and thieves can break in and steal them. ²⁰ But store your treasures in heaven where they cannot be destroyed by moths or rust and where thieves cannot break in and steal them. ²¹ Your heart will be where your treasure is.

Matthew 19:21
Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

Mammon is money, now this does not mean what a lot of "religious" people think that it means.  This is saying that you should Love God more than your money, God wants us to give to every good work and tithe as we should.  He that loves money will not part with it the way that a Godly man should.  If you have it and you cherish it then it will consume you.

and I will end on this one.

Philippians 4:19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

By who? Yep Jesus Christ :D

God bless,

Sheri

We are but strangers here, for we are from another kingdom, Our Fathers in Heaven. All the things of this earth shall pass away. We need to set our minds on heavenly things, and trust in Jesus to provide our earthly needs. Our treasures do await us Sister. And when we get there, I'd like to stroll over heaven with you. Love ya!
