2 Corinthians 5:7 "Walk by faith, not by sight."
 As I read this verse I find motivation to live my faith everyday, no matter how I feel. Let me put it this way: I am training for a marathon right now. Thi past week is week four in my training and fatigue is starting to set in. Yeterday when I woke up to run, I found it incredibly hard to get up and run because I lacked the desire I had in the first few weeks of training. In other words the fatigue that had set in on my legs had started to wear on my drive inside my head. Despite the fatigue I know my final goal and continue to get up and train. I think a lot of the time in our walk with Christ we find ourselves in a rut because we start to make our relationship with God more about us than Him. We become selfish and instead of focusing on God we focus on how we feel. Paul encourages us to not walk by feelings but by faith. I took this as encouragment that even though things may not be going great around me I stay devoted to my God at ALL times to bring Him glory.
