FAITH CAPSULE: Without doubt, faith drives believe to live by 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 emphasized 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, with hearing but not listening to the word shall result to not giving attention to the word of God. Word of God that gains entrance into man is the evidence of faith in man’s life. Will you allow the entrance of God’s word? Psalm 119:130 recorded, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Constantly engage the word of God to enter and give you faith so as to be pleasing God. Hebrews 11:6 says it all, “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 doubt, faith drives believe 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 in living by the word of God (living by faith). The word states it, 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 life abundantly in the wicked world. Jesus confirmed the need to be living 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 for 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 store for the Israelites need.
In your challenges, have faith and not doubt; Live by faith not by sight.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be living by His word.
