Daily devotion – Faith
After Peter saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed the day previous had died from the roots up, remember Jesus said to Peter, “Have Faith in God!”
How can I this week see that my faith may grow stronger?
Firstly, be sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. There is no sweeter hymn that reminds us of God’s blessed peace and love: “Blessed Assurance”
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Have you acknowledged your sins before God, put your faith and trust completely in Him as YOUR Saviour and Lord?
Secondly, be a student of the Word and let God’s Word build your faith in His truth. The Bible is spiritual food given to us by God to strengthen us and build us up. In God’s Word we learn of God’s love for us over and over, and how He desires us to walk before Him, to live in His grace.
Lastly, draw strength from other believers – fellowship is so important to our growing in grace and love. We need to hear God’s Word as it is preached and taught.
I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you – Ephesians 3:16
