day no. 16,285: faith plants the step and reaps the progress

"Faith needs no staff of flesh." -- George Herbert, Divinity

Faith does not lean on anything and it walks without a cane. It does not require a crutch. It does not have a limp. It plants each step and reaps the progress. It does not wobble, totter, faint, or fall.

Faith moves.

John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

The flesh cannot walk without faith because the flesh cannot do anything without faith. It cannot walk for the same reason that dead things cannot... it's dead. Faith quickens and then faith quickens the pace. It quickens and then it thickens. The flesh leans on faith every step of the way -- for life, breath and everything else.

2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight

The flesh can see, but it cannot walk; thus, we walk by faith and not by sight.
