"Grow in Faith Grow in Christ"
Romans 4:18-21
New International Version
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been
said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
There are three basic stages of faith. First, there’s little faith, which says, “I know He can, but I’m not sure He will.” Next, as God proves Himself trustworthy, our faith grows, and we begin to focus more on Him than on our circumstances. Finally, we should graduate to perfect faith, which says, “I believe what God says, so I’m going
to act!”
Do you want to grow your faith? Spend time with God. Ask Him to help you trust more. When Peter became
afraid of the waves, Jesus immediately reached out and caught him—and He’ll be there for you as well.
