Where Does Your Faith Come From?

Does it come from yourself? In your abilities or accomplishments?  Does it come from other people? Or does it come from God? Maybe you feel that you don't even have any faith. Or your faith is very limited. And while it is a good thing to have reasonable confidence in yourself and be proud of your achomplishments, the kind of faith I speak of is in God. Do you have faith that God will provide for your needs? Or that he will protect you? Do you have faith that he will direct you on which way you should go on that important decision you may have to make? Do you have faith in any of God's promises? Are they for everyone else, just not you?  I think as humans we all at times feel that our faith is not strong enough. Romans 12:3 says that we have been given a measure of faith. But it needs to grow. So how does it grow? It grows by hearing God's word. And it is important to hear God's word every day. Romans: 10:17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. If you go to church or listen to a pastor on tv that is preaching the word of God, you are hearing the word of God. And as you listen to the word being preached, your faith will grow. If you are reading your bible every day, you are hearing what God is saying to you and your faith will grow. And that is why it is important to read it every day. Jesus said in Mathew 17:20 that all it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed to move mountains. What mountain do you need to move today? Whatever it is, get into God's word and have faith that he will help you move them. He is ready, willing and able.


Thought for the day:

Today's joke: A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment to ‘Honor thy father and thy mother,’ she asked, ‘Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?’

Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, ‘Thou shall not kill..’
