walk by faith

Psalm 73:24 You will keep on guiding me with Your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You?
I desire You more than anything on earth.
26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
He is mine forever.

27 Those who desert Him will perish,
for You destroy those who abandon You.
28 But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things You do.

I read this on May 6, 2003. That was the morning AFTER I said yes to God the night before about leaving 30 of music ministry behind & starting to be a part of House of Grace.

I'd started to read Psalm 73 after months of God making me restless (or "stirred") & talking to me every day in my Bible reading.

So I get up after an evening of saying the BIG yes, & there's nothing in the Psalm I'm reading that speaks to me. I was so pouty. I thought after all those months He'd have something to say to me the day after saying yes.

Then I got to verse 24.

I cried when I read it.

Tears came to my eyes as I wrote this this morning.

The past 7 years have been, all in all, glorious.


Jeremy Camp wrote a song, Walk by Faith, during his 1st marriage, which was to a woman he knew was dying of cancer.

I held on to in 2003. It's still true today.

You can hear him sing it on youtube here:

Will I believe You when You say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Help me to RID my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With the one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do

yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, ya

well i will walk by faith
even when i cannot see
because this broken road
prepares Your will for me

Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
(Repeat)
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Hallelujah, hallelu


I will walk by faith, I will walk by faith,
I will walk by faith
I will walk by faith, I will walk by faith,
I will walk by faith
I will walk by faith, I will walk by faith,
I will walk by faith
I will walk by faith
I will walk,I will walk
Faith
I will walk, I will walk by faith
