Week 134: Just Passing By



                             Just Passing By              
                  For we walk by faith, not by sight. II Corinthians 5:7

• Walk on by. . .
• Stroll on by. . .
• Strut on by. . .

Christians are just passing by. They are not of this world. (John 17:16) They are aliens. They are peculiar. (I Peter 2:9) The world can’t understand people who actually hear from, talk to, and obey God. Who are these strange beings? Why do they react to situations so differently from everybody else? How can they see beyond the obvious? Why aren’t they controlled by worry, and bound by fear? Why do they speak of hope when things are hopeless? They walk like they’re headed someplace, but where?    
                                Why are these outsiders here? 
These extraordinary people are here to do the will of God. They realize that they have an assignment(s) to do here on earth. God has provided them with everything they will need to get the job done. They are packing, but not limited to: gifts and talents; spiritual armor; prayer; peace; wisdom; guardian angels; and the Word of God. 

            ... greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. I John 4:4

They have already been informed that their journey won’t be without demonic obstacles trying to take them off course. It says in John 16:33, that they will have tribulation. They know who’s behind the chaos. These remarkable people are not going to fall for the devil’s tricks; they will not let someone’s bitterness, hatefulness, insults, betrayal, and prejudice get the best of them.

They know they are under the surveillance of Almighty God, therefore, what can man do to them? (Romans 8:31) They also know that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. (Isaiah 54:17) Sure weapons will be formed but. . .  
                 Go ahead—shoot your best shot.
These peculiar folks will just keep on steppin′—as they pass right on by.
