Walking through the Unknown By Faith

It is interesting because each day I wake up to the unknown, what is my agenda for the day? Who will I meet, what will the outcome be? Some years ago, I heard a sermon that talked about faith and it is said that faith is operating on the premise that God will take care of you no matter what happens during the course of the day. The speaker went on to say if we knew what the day would bring it wouldn't be faith, it would be dwelling according to knowledge. That's deep. My journey is one of faith. I believe that God will take care of me and will go one step further to add that if God can't take care of me than I can't be taken care of. I expect the best in all areas of my life because I serve a God that provides nothing but the best. I hear so much Christianese it is disheartening it's like speaking all of this jargon will produce faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. I spend my days listening to Christian teaching 24/7 and I know during the course of the day, God will deposit in my spirit those things that I need to make it through another day by faith (Grandma said if you don't put it in, God can't bring it to your rememberance. I don't say this braggadociously because I really know what my life is like without this discipline. I know what my thoughts are like, I know what the people look like that I draw, when I don't live like this and I just don't want to live like that anymore in this lifetime. This lifestyle for me is serious (it's life or death) and I take it seriously - my very life and sanity depends on it. So as I walk through the unknown by faith, I am confident that I am the only one that doesn't know because my God is all knowing, and omnipresence and like I heard a preacher say today, God is so awesome that he leaves and runs into himself - surely he can take care of me. All is well and we continue!
