Footsteps of Faith

"Footsteps of Faith" Oil on canvas 24” x 36”

When the Disciples ran to the empty tomb, they didn't know what they were going to find and they didn't know what to believe. I'm sure in those moments they were consumed by grief, fear and confusion. The resurrection of Jesus was not something they had fully grasped yet. Still they ran.

As they arrived, John's Gospel tells us that one of them went into the tomb and saw the grave clothes lying where Jesus had been and THEN He believed. Something happened here that opened his eyes to what he had not been able to see before – their reality went from death to life.

I felt a gentle reminder in this scripture and through this painting that faith can look different sometimes. It can look like these feet running on the heels of confusion, fear, pain etc. yet, they are still moving towards Him, towards the empty tomb. I felt the Lord say, it’s in these places that He provides everything we need to believe, to hope, to heal and to find Him. So often I think my feet need to be running with boldness and confidence and forget that it’s okay to be honest with God at where I am at and let Him be my strength. This is still faith and still trusting Him with my unbelief.
