If I walk by sight I'm focused on:
Temporary things        My circumstances       People's opinions        Human odds

This results in a faith that is:
Unstable                      Inconsistent                Constantly drifting

Building a Faith That's Anchored:

1. Pursue God's precepts.
2. Pray God's promises.

ACTION PLAN: As you're reading the Bible this week, look for promises that God has made. When you find one, underline it in your Bible, and then grab onto it, asking God to fulfill that promise in you or for you.

3. Pay attention to God's promptings.

ACTION PLAN: Practice some silence during your time with the Lord this week. Ask the Lord to give you ears to hear his voice and then ask him to give you something specific that he wants you to do for him. Give him time to speak and then respond by doing whatever he tells you to do, even if it isn't something that you would normally do.
