17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. ~ Romans 10:17
So many of us in the Church today lack one of the most important foundational blocks, faith. We no longer operate in faith. When we try for a goal, we expect failure, and we defend this by calling ourselves a realist. But is that what we are? Realists? Or are we really just doubters? What’s happened to the Church? Why are we filled with so much doubt and so little faith?
In today’s world, we have so many different distracters fighting our attention. It’s hard to find time for God. It’s especially hard to find time to read our Bibles. Most of us make time to pray at least once a day (our bedtime prayer), but we don’t make time to read our Bibles. Why? Why is it so hard to bring ourselves to read the Word of God?
I believe it’s because the enemy knows that faith comes through the Word of God, so he does everything he can to stop us from reading our Bibles because he knows that without faith, no amount of prayer matters. We are in an ongoing war for our souls. We have to fight. We can’t allow ourselves to become so spiritually drained that we don’t even realize that we’ve fallen asleep. As Christians, we have to make the conscientious decision every day to make time for God to speak to us through His Word.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Ignite Your Faith.
