OVERCOMING FAULTY FAITH

The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” ROMANS 1: 17

The greatest barrier to your faith is not circumstances, your past, or anyone’s actions. Rather, it’s your lack of belief in God’s sovereignty, wisdom, and love. You don’t trust Him. And it’s hindering His power from flowing in your life.

So how do you overcome faulty faith? First, ask the Lord to help you be so centered on Him that when difficulties arise, you immediately look for His aid. He will help you achieve this focus as you spend time with Him and meditate on His Word daily.

Second, relinquish your desire for control. Friend, it’s scary to let go—there’s no doubt about it. But whenever the Father calls you to follow Him in faith, He promises to support you every step of the way. He assumes full responsibility for your needs and is ready to equip you for whatever arises.

So overcome your faulty faith by releasing your need to direct your circumstances and trusting in your sovereign Savior. Obey God and leave the consequences to Him. He will certainly bless you.

Father, strengthen my faith. Help me trust You fully whenever troubles arise and keep my eyes fixed on You, amen.

In His presence . . . strengthen your faith.
