Months ago I came across a tool on the biblical counseling website I use. Its title is Walking By Faith Not By Sight. I made several copies of it knowing it would be useful for some of those who come for counseling. Yesterday afternoon was our monthly Celebrate Recovery leadership meeting. I brought copies of this tool for the group knowing there is no one who comes to CR who hasn’t struggled with this topic. Little did I know just how significant this tool would be.

A major quote from this document states: “‘Let God be proved true and every man a liar.’ What this means is, if my perceptions, thoughts, or fears are different from what is contained in the truth of God’s word, then I should believe God’s word as true and consider my own belief a lie. For example, God’s words says He will never leave us nor forsake us and that He is an ever present help in times of need.” I lived so long wanting to believe fully in God and trusting His word. But I was scared to death of what those consequences would mean if people actually knew what my past was. Only in my last 15 years have I been able to start living more fully in real Faith.

Satan truly takes advantage of our fears and twists what God’s word tells us. This document, I had thought would be useful for those of us who help others with their accountability, which is true. But, before we do this it became a tool of helping us better walk by Faith ourselves and Trust more fully the God we love and serve.
