Faith is something we have.
Trust is something we do.
Trust is faith in action…It is faith that has been released! Joyce Meyer~Quiet Time with God
Faith is something we have, but we also need to actively feed it, nurture it, build it, strengthen it and keep it in constant motion. Liken it to going to the gym or your daily exercise routine. To build lean, solid muscle and a healthy body, proper maintenance is required.
The same goes with our walk, trust and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:17 ESV “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of God.”
We are living in a blessed time regarding information about anything and everything right at the end of our fingertips. The Internet is a wealth of opportunity and options. There are numerous online sermons, podcasts, devotions, and teachings. This includes The Bible in many translations, all teaching the word of God.
Hebrews 1:1 ESV “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
We’ve read, listened to, and attended. Now comes the time to flex our spiritual muscles. We cast our cares upon him in prayer! Then we trust, standing firm in our beliefs. Standing even stronger when the storm winds of doubt or fear threaten our test of faith. Standing firm, never wavering or doubting because we trust and know that the Lord’s word always rings true.
2 Corinthians 5:7 ESV “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
Ok, here comes the test! This is where the endurance starts, faith, not sight! Your life might resemble the storm in The Wizard of Oz; everything is up in the air and spinning out of control. You just received news causing the light at the end of the tunnel to go very dim. The fog is so dense you can’t see, and all you can feel is the dark, cold dampness!
Then, flex that faith muscle and keep flexing because…
Luke 1:37 ESV “For nothing is impossible with God.”
Of this, I have no doubt! On this I stand! On this I believe!
