A Little Wisdom About Faith & God’s Word
It says in the Bible that “…faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17 KJV, but that is not the only avenue to faith.
Faith comes or works through many aspects of our personality. If would be correct to say: ‘faith comes through seeing and seeing by the word of God’ or ‘faith comes when believing and believing by the words of God’.
Look at all the ways people ‘used their faith’ through responding to God in Hebrews chapter 11:33-37 KJV: “33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;”
Too often we think that if we only believed more then we would be called, Children of Faith, but that is not what God was asking of us. Everything faith is, is about choosing—we are always in a state of choosing, always in a state of making decisions.
What are you going to do today, choose God or reject God? Respond to God or walk away. Willing to listen to God or ignore Him. Choose to see God, search God out, find what and where God is working through the Holy Spirit. I choose to listen to God’s words and voice, I choose to see what God has done, is doing and will be doing—I look for God in all the earth. And lastly, I choose to believe who God is, what He says, what He is doing through the Holy Spirit’s activities in this world. This is what faith is, and every time I respond—my choosing to respond—to whatever God is doing or how He is working in this world, God calls me a person of faith.
How do I know this is true and righteous? Because Satan is there trying to get me not to listen, not to hear, not to see or accept what I see, and casting doubt in my heart not to believe. Yes, I have faith because I see, I believe, and I believe. I’ve God Faith!
