How to Walk by Faith When You Don’t Understand God’s Plan. Faith is the foundation of our lives as believer’s, but walking by faith is not always easy—especially when God’s plan is unclear.
Life is full of seasons where we may feel lost, confused, or uncertain about the next step.
And even when we are aware of the next steps yet, the whole line hasn’t fallen into place yet.
It is during these times that faith is tested, patience is refined, and trust in God’s timing becomes paramount.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.
The above scripture often baffles me, you know I used to wonder why Abraham rose up and left without looking back! people probably might have snickered or even said this man is not ok or even made derogatory remarks about him.
It wasn’t like things were hard for Him…which is often our reason for following God sometimes…. you know, to turn our story around 🤔
I don’t think it’s easy to just pack our bags and leave, that’s why if a man eventually leaves as the Spirit pulls and doesn’t apprehend, he is said to be perverse more like a waste on Gods investment …Help us Jesus
It is at this point that true humility and actual obedience is measured, and in some cases, we didn’t really disobey but our obedience wasn’t prompt…omoo we had to calculate many things that’s assuming we obeyed!
Meaning, it is possible we look like we obeyed but in actual sense we never did!
Understanding God’s Plan; How to Walk by Faith When You Don’t Understand God’s Plan
“‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord……. —Isaiah 55:8–9
Sometimes, for us God’s plan may seem unclear, but His wisdom is perfect.
When we don’t understand, it is often because:
Consequently, faith requires us choosing to trust God even when our situation seems contradictory to His promises.
Circumstances can be deceiving, but God’s Word is unchanging.
That’s why we often say as believers that “Faith is not passive. It’s active trust expressed through daily obedience.
Come to think of it, waiting is difficult especially when we have received sure words from God and it seems as if it is tarrying, it is often the hardest part of walking by faith. But it is also a spiritual refining process.
“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” —Romans 8:25
It becomes a season of deepening our relationship with God, building consistency, kingdom service……building ourself……many things
Therefore, even when the plan is unclear, God still provides guidance through multiple channels
Walking by faith often involves acting on partial understanding while trusting God for clarity.
Obedience Precedes Understanding; How to Walk by Faith When You Don’t Understand God’s Plan
How to Walk by Faith When You Don’t Understand God’s Plan. I’ve come to understand that faith demands action, even in uncertainty.
Behove it to say, that sometimes the human mind or rather man naturally want to play in safe waters.
We know this might not be it but the nagging desire to play on safe waters tugs at the recesses of our heart, we don’t want stories that touch 😥
And this, prevents us from having faith in God’s plans even in uncertainty.
That’s why, obedience demonstrates trust and allows God’s plan to unfold.
So, our faith is strengthened when action aligns with trust, even if the full picture is hidden.
Consequently, our faith grows as fear diminishes, especially when we intentionally trust God’s character over circumstances.
Spiritual Growth Through Trials
Trials often obscure understanding, but God uses them to develop our perseverance and faith.
Inherently, it teaches us patience and endurance. Brings us to a place of deeper dependence on God. Strengthens our prayer life and of course brings spiritual maturity and insight
Seeming as if faith thrives when we see trials as stepping stones toward God’s purpose.
Therefore, true faith transforms uncertainty into opportunities for God to reveal His glory.
So, walking by faith when you don’t understand God’s plan is the essence of Christian maturity.
Because trust is cultivated in obedience, waiting, and surrender.
