Romans 10:17 (ESV)
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word
of Christ.
D.L. Moody spent many hours praying for faith. He once
said, "If all the time I have spent praying for faith was put together, it
would be months. I thought that someday faith was going to come down and strike
me like lightening. But faith did not come. Then one day I read in the 10th
chapter of Romans, "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word
of God." I now opened my Bible and began to read God's Word and faith has
been growing ever since."
Much of what believers describe as 'faith' has nothing to
do with Biblical faith. Our faith must not be based on emotion, or want, and
not on the latest Christian seminar. But it must be centered on God's Word, on
Messiah, His death and resurrection, His salvation. The Living Word is the
eternal, everlasting love of God which has been poured out upon our lives.
Read, hear, apply and live the Word, and you will grow
strong in faith.
Dear Lord, give us the strength to read, apply and live
the Word that You have given us. Help to stay in Your word daily. In the Name
of Jesus, Amen.
