Strengthen your faith

“I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.” (The Bible, 1 John 2:14)
Your body needs exercise. Physical exercise is useful.

But your faith needs exercise as well! Exercising faith is also useful.So how do you exercise and strengthen your faith? This list isn’t all-inclusive, but here are several ideas that could help you…

• Being aware of your identity. You are a child of God.
• Affirming your trust in God.
• Singing praises to the Lord.
• Having fellowship with other brothers and sisters.
• Listening to a good sermon.
• Meditating on the Word of God.
• Declaring the Word of God out loud.
• Letting the Holy Spirit speak to you and guide you.
• Sharing your faith with others around you.
• Proclaiming His mercy in your life.

The more you affirm your trust in God, the readier you are to face a tough day, a new battle, or a trial.

When the giant Goliath appears and threatens you, like David did, you can push him back and conquer him in the name of the God of the armies of Israel! The Bible tells us that David had trained, grown in strength, fighting bears and lions (see The Bible, 1 Samuel 17:34)…and the day the giant came, David was victorious over him.

My friend, what could happen if you began to strengthen your faith even more?
