TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God"
(Romans 10:17, NKJV).
TODAY'S WORD , I just came from our staff meeting a few moments ago and one of our younger staff members confronted me about something I shouldn't have said. Right away, I felt a conviction in my heart that he was right and I was wrong. I thought about the verse above in Romans 10:17 were the scripture doesn't say, "Faith comes because you have heard the Word of God one time." No, it says that "faith comes by hearing"-in the present tense. Sure, God's Word can transform us in an instant; but most of the time, we need to hear God's principles over and over again before they become active in our lives. Today, a young man spoke God's word into my soul and I'm glad I was open. God's truth sets us free and puts His plan for our lives into motion. As you study the Word of God, or hear it from others, it chisels away at the doubt and unbelief that's been built up over the years. And, just as a seed needs water to grow daily; your spirit needs the Word of God daily. The more you hear God's promises, the more you know Him, and the more confidence you will have to believe His word. I encourage you to choose a few verses to meditate on daily. Write them down and carry them in your purse or wallet. The more you hear the Word of God, the more your faith will grow, and you will move forward in the freedom and victory He has for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father in heaven, thank You for Your Word that is living and active and growing in my life. I submit myself to You today. Teach me Your ways and give me insight into Your Word so that I may know You. In Jesus' Name. Amen." |
