Have Faith
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sound judgment, according to the measure of faith God has distributed to every man.
- Romans 12:3
You may say, "How is it possible to believe before you ever come to God?" Because God gave every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3).
Don't ever say, "I don't have faith to be healed, or for my family's salvation, or for my finances to improve." God gave you the faith to believe!
You know that this is true by the very fact that you are saved. With your heart, you believed when you didn't know anything about God because He gave you the ability to believe.
Believe what? That God is. Whatever you are, God was there first.
God is not a rewarder of casual acquaintances. His Word was given to us so we could know Him. But don't base your faith on the Word of God; base it, instead, on the God of the Word.
Seek Him with your whole heart and mind. Seek Him early in the morning and late at night. Seek Him while you are driving and while you work. Seek Him in worship and praise. Seek Him in the Word. Seek Him and live!
Lord, I seek You in every moment of my life. I seek You not for what You can do for me but simply for your presence. How I long to be close to You. Amen.
