Hebrews
11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of
things which do appear.
In
a previous discussion our focus was Faithful Living Pleases God, but today's
focus is growing in our faith. The question now becomes, How does one grow in his or her faith? We grow in our faith when we
can accept God for who He is and His sovereign powers as He is the creator and
sustainer of all that exist. His Spirit lives in each of us to enable us to
walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). The Christians journey is
one of faith and we will face obstacles that require faith in God while
trusting Him for deliverance. Many obstacles are permitted to grow our faith because
God is preparing us for greater works in His kingdom building and our faith
must pass the test. On a personal note, there were many times when I
encountered situations where the only thing I could do was stand still, trust
God and see the salvation of the Lord. Our faith grows each time trouble comes
and we can go to God in prayer knowing that He is presence while believing with
holy faith He will deliver.
It took faith for the patriarchs of this
chapter to act on God's command. It take faith for believers to answer the call
of salvation as this is a faith journey because Satan is busy trying to disrupt
our Christian faith and growth.
Walk
with God and grow in faith.
