We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.

Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.

As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.

Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

- Romans 10:17

Yesterday we learned that vision starts with God speaking. Today, let's explore how this transforms our understanding of faith itself. Many people think faith is about believing really hard in something, like positive thinking with a spiritual twist. But biblical faith is far more solid than wishful thinking. It's not blind optimism—it's confident obedience based on what God has already revealed. When God speaks through His Word, faith responds. It's not just about hearing the information; it's about receiving it, believing it, and then acting on it. This is why some people can sit in church for years and never experience real transformation—they're hearing but not truly receiving.

Think about a time when someone you trusted gave you important instructions. Maybe a doctor's prescription, a teacher's guidance, or a parent's wisdom. Faith worked when you not only heard what they said but actually followed through. The same principle applies to our relationship with God. God's Word isn't just information to be stored in our minds—it's revelation to be lived out in our daily choices. When we align our actions with His revealed truth, we're exercising biblical faith. When we ignore or rationalize away what He's clearly said, we're moving away from faith and toward presumption. This kind of faith brings incredible peace because it's not based on our ability to believe hard enough or dream big enough. It's based on the solid foundation of God's unchanging Word. We can trust Him because He's already proven trustworthy through what He's revealed.

As you go through today, remember that faith isn't about mustering up more belief—it's about responding obediently to what God has already made clear.

Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!

I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

-Psalm 119:11
