In my book “Walking With God: The Life-Changing Benefits of a Daily Relationship with God,” I made this statement:

“Walking with God requires faith before understanding.”

I want you to understand something. Walking with God doesn’t mean you’re always going to understand what He’s doing. There will be seasons when God requires you to trust Him without giving you an explanation.

Noah built before the rain came. Abraham moved without knowing where he was going. Peter stepped out of the boat without knowing how he was going to stand on water.

Their obedience wasn’t based on what they understood, but on WHO they trusted!

And that’s where many of us struggle. We want God to explain everything before we obey Him. But I’ve learned that sometimes God won’t reveal the next step until we take the first one!

Faith doesn’t require you to have all the answers. Faith requires you to trust the One who does!

So even when the road gets difficult, the prayers seem unanswered, and life doesn’t make sense, KEEP WALKING WITH GOD!

Because I’d rather walk with God through uncertainty than walk without Him with everything figured out!
