By Faith, We Stand

Good Morning!! The Bible is clear in its teachings on faith,...it is essential to our salvation. So how do we get faith? First of all, faith is given to each of us as a gift. Everyone has faith. But we often have more faith in the things of the world, than in the things of God. We have faith that the sun will rise and set each day,....even though we have no way of controlling its movements; we just trust that it will continue to work the way it always has. But we need to grow in trusting the One who makes the sun rise and set, the One who put it there in the first place.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.—Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

How do do we get more faith in God? Our first step in gaining more faith, is by getting to know more about our God,...our Lord,...our Creator. And the way to obtain that knowledge, is by getting into His Word. When you start reading His Word, you will start hearing His voice. When you start hearing His voice through His Word, then you will see His intervention in all areas of your life. You will pray in accordance with His Will. You will know when He is leading you. You will see God answer your prayers,...and the end result: more faith!

Faith is like a muscle,...the more you use it,...the bigger it will grow.
Father God, we ask You to help our faith, by helping us to hear Your Word. We ask for more of Your Spirit, more of Your Word, put to work in our life,...in short, we ask for more faith, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

"God doesn't comfort us just to make us comfortable,...He comforts us to make us comforters."
