FAITH COMES BY HEARING
Romans 10:17 (NKJV), "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Today is DAY 2 in our devotional series: A LIFE OF FAITH. Today, we are learning how faith grows.
Faith does not grow accidentally. What you continually hear will eventually influence what you believe. If you constantly feed your heart with fear, bad reports and negative voices, your confidence in God can become weakened.
If you want stronger faith, increase your intake of God's Word. Proverbs 4:20-21 (NKJV) says, "My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them of your heart."
Be intentional about what enters your heart. Read the Word. Listen to it. Meditate on it. Give God's Word more attention than the voices feeding your fears. The more your heart becomes established in what God has said, the stronger your confidence in Him becomes.
If you want to grow your faith, feed your faith with God's Word.
FURTHER STUDY: Joshua 1:8 (NKJV), "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."
CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS, MY FAITH GROWS STRONGER AS I GIVE MYSELF TO GOD'S WORD. I GUARD WHAT I HEAR, FILL MY HEART WITH THE WORD, AND GROW DAILY IN MY CONFIDENCE IN GOD.
