"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”
- Romans 10:17
Yesterday we looked at the power of faith in God. Today we look at a different dimension of faith—the Faith of God.
In our journey of faith, we often encounter challenges and situations that test the limits of our belief. It is during these particularly trying moments that we come to appreciate the unique gift of faith that comes from God Himself.
Mark 11:22 can be translated as "have faith from God." This special kind of faith is not like any other; it reflects the very essence of God's creative power. As children made in His image (Genesis 1:26), we share in this divine faith. When our own faith wavers, the Holy Spirit imparts this supernatural gift (1st Corinthians 12:9) to empower us to lay hold of the promises of God.
Consider the magnitude of God's faith. It's the kind of faith that spoke the universe and galaxies into existence, formed the heavens and the earth. We are privileged to possess this same spirit of faith, as stated in 2nd Corinthians 4:13. This divine faith is not something we conjure on our own; it is a gift from the Holy Spirit, released to us precisely when we need it.
As children made in His image, we share in this divine faith.
Imagine a time when you find yourself at your wit's end, facing circumstances that seem insurmountable, and your own faith is on the verge of faltering. It's in these moments that God steps in like a loving Hand to catch you when you slip. He imparts His faith within you, enabling you to obtain that which He has promised.
So, let us cherish and rely on this precious gift of faith from God. In the midst of life's most challenging situations, when our own strength fails, His divine faith will sustain us and lead us to victory. Trust in the faith that comes from God, for it is the key to overcoming the greatest trials we may encounter in our journey of faith.
Whatever you are going through, or whenever you find yourself in a tough situation, remember that God stands ready to infuse His own faith into you. Pray with belief, for His divine faith is the ultimate source of strength and victory in the face of life's challenges.
Song of Worship
He knows my name. He knows my every thought. He sees each tear that falls. And He hears me when I call.
Prayer - Lord, as we navigate the challenges of life, we acknowledge that our own strength may falter, but Your faith remains unwavering. We trust in Your love, knowing that You are always ready to infuse Your faith into us when we call upon Your name. May we cherish this precious gift and rely on it as the anchor of our souls. In the face of life's trials, may Your divine faith sustain us, lead us to victory, and help us overcome every obstacle that stands in our way.
