Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-17

Matthew 9:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened… 

Our faith is very important in every aspect of our lives. 

Our faith is the foundation upon which our walk with God is built. If our faith is weak, so will our walk with God be weak. 

Faith affects our relationship with God on many levels. 

The strength of our faith, or the lack of strength, will determine whether we believe Him or doubt Him. 

It will determine whether we follow Him with our whole heart or with just a tiny piece of it. 

It will determine whether we pray with power or pray weakly and with few results. 

Our faith will determine how we approach each day. It will affect how we carry ourselves. And it will change our outlook on everything. 

Jesus specifically told the blind men “According to your faith let it be to you”. They confessed their faith in Him to heal them. And it was done. 

Everything we do in our lives will be affected by our faith. So how do we have strong faith? 

We stop trying to build our faith for the sake of having faith. And we start building our faith and trust in God. God is the supplier of our faith. He gave each and every one of us a “measure of faith”. Whether that measure grows or not is up to us. 

We put God first in everything. Our attitude. Our work. Our relationships. Our giving. Our friendships, and much more. 

And we spend time with Him. We read His word. We talk with Him. We get to know Him in a personal way. And as we do this, our relationship with Him gets stronger and stronger. 

And that strong relationship translates into stronger faith. 

Yes, it takes work on our part. Strong faith doesn’t come by way of someone laying hands on us and speaking it over us. It doesn’t come simply by us asking for it. And it doesn’t come by reading books about it. 

But God rewards those who diligently seek Him. So, as we seek Him with purpose and in sincerity, He will reward us with stronger faith and a changed heart. 

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. 

Seek Him. Put Him first. And build a strong walk with Him. And watch your faith blossom and grow in strength.
