Build Your Faith

'The weakness of our hunger for God is not because He is unsavory, but because we "keep ourselves stuffed with other things."'

Isn't that true? We all tend to get caught up in the busyness of this world and the worries that bring along. As if we're going to live on this earth forever.

And do you know what's scary about it? We're too busy that we don't even realize it. Until something painful happens that wakes us up from our spiritual slumber.

My brethren, there's nothing wrong in desiring a better life for yourself and your family. Just don't let your job, family, or even your ministry to hinder the growth of your faith in God.

A man was talking with a farmer about his soy bean and corn crops. Rain had been abundant, and the results were evident.

But the farmer’s comment surprised him: "My crops are especially vulnerable. Even a short drought could have a devastating effect."

"Why?" the man asked.

The farmer explained that while we see the frequent rains as a benefit, during that time the plants are not required to push roots deeper in search of water. The roots remain near the surface. A drought would find the plants unprepared and quickly kill them.

We Christians or should I say some Christians receive abundant "rains" of worship, fellowship, and teaching. Yet when stress enters their lives, many suddenly abandon God or think him unfaithful and their roots have never pushed much below the surface.

Bear in mind this, only roots grown deep into Jesus Christ help us endure times of drought in our lives. So don't neglect the power of God build your faith in Him and He will sustain you. And how do we build this faith?

 

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” – Romans 10:17.

 

Stay Blessed!
