“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17
Have you ever faced situations beyond your control or found yourself in seasons of hopelessness and confusion? Life has its share of good and bad times, often designed to train or teach us. As humans, God has given us the privilege of choice: we can either embrace these lessons or reject them.
Our choices in life can lead us either to consistent progress or to constant setbacks. To live successfully in this world, despite the odds, we must devote ourselves to the study of God’s Word. Imagine a driver seated in a car, ready to embark on a journey of more than 500 miles, but without the car keys. Would he push the car the entire way by faith, or would he search for the keys? The answer is obvious—he would search for the keys and drive in faith towards his destination.
As Christians, God’s Word is our key to unlocking life’s challenges. By immersing ourselves in Scripture, we grow in faith and are equipped to live victoriously. May the Lord help us to not only hear His Word but also to do it. Amen.
Charge: A faith-based life grows through the word of God.
