Faith is a muscle

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Faith is a muscle

Your heart pumps several thousand liters of blood each day, allowing oxygen to circulate freely throughout your body and to feed your organs and muscles. This incredible instrument accomplishes a monumental task without ever stopping (fortunately!), allowing us to stay alive.
Isn’t God’s creation fascinating, simply phenomenal? The heart is a central organ in the mechanics of life. It’s the same with faith, the ultimate driving force behind our lives as Christians.

If you’d like, I invite you to listen to this song, “Steady Heart” by Steffany Gretzinger, about faith in the darkness…

 “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’” (The Bible, Romans 1:17)

Just as you can’t continue living if your heart stops, walking with Christ is impossible without faith.

  • It’s by faith that you believe that Jesus died and was resurrected.
  • By faith, you receive God’s promises for you.
  • By faith, you choose to focus on God rather than on your circumstances.

Each situation you encounter allows your faith to develop and increase in strength, like a muscle.

 

Today is no different than any other in the sense that it brings its own set of challenges to overcome. However, it can be an incredible opportunity to demonstrate your faith!

Pray with me…“Lord, I believe in You more than in what my physical eyes see. I believe that You are good and that You are strengthening my faith each moment through everything I’m going through. Thank You for Your presence, for Your grace, and for Your steady heart of love that never fails. In Your name, amen!”
