Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-20

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

If there is one thing that God has shown me over and over again, it is this; You have to have your own faith and your own walk. Nobody can believe for you or walk the walk for you.

So many of us look at others around us and like what we see. We long to have what they have when it comes to their faith or their relationship with God.

While that might seem innocent, it really means that we are either lacking terribly in our walk with God, or it means that we are coveting what someone else has because we don’t think we can have it.

Here’s the good news, though!

We don’t need to want someone else’s walk with God. Why? Because He wants us to have one of our own that’s even better!

This doesn’t mean that our walk with God will be better than theirs. It means that our walk with God will be better for us because it will be ours, not theirs.

God wants us to build our relationship with Him so we can commune with Him in a way that’s meaningful and helpful to us. If all we do is mimic someone else, we will be left wanting. We will never feel complete, and our spirit will not be getting the nurturing and sustenance that it needs to thrive and grow.

How do we do this? We let God feed us and nurture us through His word.

We feast on His word daily. We take it in. We digest it. We ponder on it. We let it soak into our spirit. And we let it permeate our very being.

Then, a little tiny bit at a time, it will begin to change us, from the inside, out.

And, in time, it will not only become something that we can’t live without, but it will change almost everything about us in ways that we never even dreamed possible.
