How do we develop and deepen our faith in real life? Developing faith is very similar to developing our physical bodies. As you may know, I love working out at the gym and trying to stay in shape. (Even though it is getting harder the older I get.) However, I have to keep at it day by day. If you want to stay in good shape, you need to exercise regularly, eat right and have a right attitude. If you do not keep working out, you will not only not gain strength, but you will begin to lose what you once had. I can tell the difference when I do not go to the gym for awhile.
It is the same way with faith. D.L. Moody talked about how he developed faith. He said, "I prayed for faith, and thought that some day faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the Romans 10 - "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." So I closed my Bible and prayed for faith. I now opened my Bible and began to read, study, and faith has been growing ever since."
I want to encourage you to develop your faith in Jesus and through the Word of God! Feed your mind and spirit with the truth of God's Word, and watch what will happen with your faith!
Work out your faith today!
