“Our lives are guided by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7 GWT)
Experienced runners know that recruiting the right muscles can enhance performance. Proper form and intentional focus is essential. This can be difficult, especially after fatigue sets in. If one muscle in your body is weak, and you compensate by overusing another muscle in its stead--this can lead to injury.
Similarly, when trust is weak, we tend to operate by our feelings. This can lead to all sorts of trouble. Fear and anxiety can be severely limiting. Anger and suspicion can lead to injured relationships. Choices made during times of grief can be unwise. Intentionally recruiting trust muscles requires focus. As we move forward, we must learn to be guided by faith and not by our emotions--allowing God to do a greater work in us and through us.
The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things. (John 14:12 MSG)
