Today on the news I heard a young college football player, Steven Rhodes, talk about his fight to be allowed to play in the NCAA after he had played football while serving in the military. The NCAA initially ruled that he would not be allowed to play college ball because he was issued a uniform while on the military team. Can you even imagine being a young man, serving in the military for five years and coming home ready to enter college, and being told that you will not be able to play college ball? His quote was that it had been really upsetting but he been” walking in faith, not in sight”.
This saying struck me deeply. All of us are facing a world that looks exceptionally frightening and we are being called to walk in faith, not in sight. Believing that all will be well and that the Divine is orchestrating what is happening for our highest good can be almost impossible if we stay focused on what we see in the physical world. It requires that we move into our faith, and trust in the unseen world, knowing that what is meant to be happening is happening.
Three times in the past week I have had this message delivered to me from completely diverse sources. I am told that we are going to be facing even more distressing times. We absolutely must keep our faith, and know that we will walk through this to something much more amazing and wonderful than we have ever seen. If we can keep our thoughts focused on what we want to see in the new, more loving Universe, it will serve everyone. Each time that the physical world pulls us back into the fear, we need to choose to refocus on what is possible and the faith that that is what is emerging. Act as though that is our new reality. Trust that that is what we have to look forward to. And support each other as we move through this time–remind each other to keep the faith.
