1 Timothy 1:14
Indeed,
the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are
in Christ Jesus.
Like a newly-born baby, man as to undergo
continuous spiritual growth in order to grow in faith and love. As man grown from being a baby, then to a
toddler, then a teenager and finally, an adult so should also our life with the
Lord Jesus Christ.
God expects us to grow in faith. It is
crucial that we grow in faith, because it is impossible to have a relationship
with God without it. Faith is one of our
most precious possessions and a key to everything important. It is because we have faith that we can
receive the commendation and approval of God.
We begin our journey to living a life of
faith by asking God for it. It is His will that we have faith, and He is
willing to give it to us. Prayer, along
with study of the Scriptures, is a vital part of conversation with God.
It is a way of expressing our love, as well
as our concerns, to Him. This heartfelt communication with God increases faith.
Understanding these truths of God is a gift
from Him. If you understand them, God is calling you to participate in His
great plan.
Begin now to develop the living faith that
will see you through the trials of this life and into the coming Kingdom of
God.
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus, choose today to take refuge in
You. I choose to fear the Lord and not
man, and I choose obedience over willfulness and submission over pride. I am blessed beyond measure already, and I
praise and thank You for all You have provided, knowing that we will lack no
good thing as we seek You first above all else.
To You be all the honor and glory!
Amen +
Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge…
