As Christians, we are called to walk and live by faith. Everything you do is tied to what you believe. For us, hope lies in the Lord from whom we obtain our sufficiency and strength.
Faith is not an easy subject to discuss, nor is it an easy thing to do. Though we face a myriad of issues on a daily basis, we are supposed to trust God through them all. Faith is what moves the heart of God to act on our behalf. We know what scripture says about faith. Hebrews 11:6 is one of the most direct.
For without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him earnestly.
The only impossibilities that exist with God involve an absence of faith in Him. Faith is the make or break ingredient to obtaining a move of God in your life. No faith in the life of the believer is like no sugar in Kook Aid or no sweet potatoes in sweet potato pie. It’s non-existent without it.
Your faith makes a powerful two-fold statement: “I believe that God exists,” and, “He will reward me because I seek Him earnestly.” Knowing that God is real is powerful in itself. It will surely move God’s heart. But, to know and believe that he’s working on your behalf, that he is capable of rewarding your faith in response to your diligence is another thing entirely.
God is faithful. His word is sure and true.
Our faith is necessary to deal with life’s issues. Whatever you are dealing with right now is the precise area that God is calling you to trust Him. You may be looking for a job, desiring to get pregnant or dealing with unruly children. Whatever your area of difficulty or need is exactly the area God is calling you to exercise your faith. Believe Him for the job, believe Him for the baby, believe Him for help with the children.
Use your faith to believe God in those areas. And, because you believed, he will reward.
