FAITH CAPSULE: All should desire to strive for the entrance of the word of God.

Exodus 16

Faith is described as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith has a source.
The Bible emphasizes the source of faith as stated,“…faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17).
Take to mind that the word of God which comes can also cease from coming when there is disengagement from hearing the word of God.
Are you hearing but not listening?
In this loud, wicked world, hearing but not listening to the word shall result in not giving attention to the word of God.
Loud going far or around is an earshot of the evidence of not hearing.
Word of God that gains entrance into man is the evidence of gaining faith.
All should desire to strive for the entrance of the word of God.
Allow the entrance of the word of God.
Psalm 119:130 records, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Constantly engage the word of God to enter, and you grow in faith, able to please God.
Hebrews 11:6 states, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Without a doubt, faith drives one to live by the word of God. Habakkuk 2:4 buttress, “…the just shall live by his faith.” All that pertains to living life is encased to live by the word of God (living by faith). The word states, we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); we watch, stand by faith (1 Corinthians 16:13); faith purifies the heart (Acts 15:9); we are saved by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8). The word of God which is the source of faith answers to all area of living life.
Do you have faith? The word of God is proven; the word of God is the source of faith to live abundantly in the wicked world.
Jesus confirmed the need to live by the word of God when He quoted from Deuteronomy 8:3, “…man shall not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” (Matthew 4:4)
With challenges, the Israelites came out of the bondage of over four hundred years just by the word of God through Moses.
At a point of challenges, they complained about the lack of pots of meat and bread to the full.
God responded, “…Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you…” (Exodus 16:4)
God rained bread by the word of His mouth, not bread from the oven bakery, for the need of the Israelites.
In your challenges, have faith and not doubt; Live by faith, not sight.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled to live by the word of God.
