A Journey: Part 6 Poem by Jacob Courtney

Part 6 Walk in Faith

Walking in Faith is never easy
in fact it is most trying part of
being a christian in many ways.
In our darkest of times when we
feel utterly defeated we must
have faith for that is when
we need God the most. Just the
same when we are at our brightest
for that is when we hit the devil's
snare. You may ask what do I know
about walking in faith how could
I know how could I understand?
This past week God showed me
what walking in faith truly is.
What trusting in Him truly means.
My son laying there not moving
breathing slow not responding
to anything showed me what walking
in faith truly is. My wife and I
got next to our son at the hospital
knowing he may not make it began to
pray. We prayed saying Thy will be
done that if it is time for him to
go we have faith we trust in You
Father. We had to come to a point
where we accepted that our oldest
son was not coming home. Instead of
being angry instead of blaming
God we reached out to the heavens
saying Father, we trust in You we
believe in You let Your will be
done. As tears rolled down our
faces as our hearts began to break
we stilled gave God the glory He
is worthy of. We only have an elotted
time here this life is not permanant
it is only temporary. So yes
we could have buried our son but
I know that I would see him again
that I would get to hold his hand
and walk with him that is walking
in faith. Trusting in God and His
will no matter what happens no
matter what we may face. Would we
be broken by the loss, absolutly
we would but we would still give
God the glory for God is in
control He was with us everystep.
Walking by faith is never
easy but the rewards far out way
a life without faith. Walk in
faith and see what God can
do in your life.
