When we study the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we can see that there are a lot of things that seem to bring pleasure to the heart of God; things that honor the Lord. We can't escape the thought that it looks like God's love language is seeing His people living a faith-filled life.
God continually puts us in situations that require that we love him and serve him by faith. In Matthew, there's a story of a centurion who comes to Jesus and asks him to heal his servant. Jesus was amazed! Jesus was so amazed that the centurion believed Jesus had such authority that he said to those following him, "truly, I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith."
Hebrews 11:6 says: "Without faith, it is impossible to please God." It doesn't say it's going to be difficult, it's actually going to be impossible. We like to say things like I walk by faith, not by sight. Yet, it is so challenging to walk by faith. There's often a breakdown between what we believe and what we actually do.
It's easier to talk by faith than to walk by faith. So, how can we live a faith-filled life? We grow into it.
We pray that faith would begin to rise in your heart today to trust God's sovereignty, even before the miracle comes. We pray you can rest in God, even before the breakthrough happens. We pray you can celebrate because God's for you and with you. In Jesus' name, amen.
