Faith Comes by Hearing

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

Say this out loud. It may feel simple (even a little silly) but do it anyway.

Even speaking this verse proves the principle: faith grows when we hear the Word of God.

If you want to sharpen your faith, strengthen your endurance, or grow in your ability to encourage others, make sure you are regularly putting yourself in places where you can hear the Word.

Get around other believers. Sit under good teaching. Read Scripture out loud. Listen to preaching. Share the gospel with someone.

Whether through preaching, teaching, reading Scripture, or hearing another believer speak truth, God uses His Word to build faith in us. And often, the strengthening begins almost immediately. After all, he IS the word, & our strength.

Lord thank you for what you're showing me in this season. I love you and ask for abundant blessings over my business right now to glorify your name. Help me to fix my eyes on you, be focused & still enough to hear to your promptings, & have courage to act. Give me wisdom as I move towards what's next and help me to serve your people as you would.
