Psalm 37: 3- 9
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
PRAY THIS OVER YOURSELF
So What?
Lets trust God and put our faith in him. Hebrew 11: 1 defines faith well, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." James 4:18 says, "Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do." In my life I have started to strengthen my faith by praying and asking God to move in me and daily as I seek after him with my whole heart he asks me to step out IN FAITH. It might be something small- tell that woman in the grocery store that I (the God that loves her) am listening. I have two options; to listen to something that I have not seen or hope that the voice is that of the God that I know and love. So i step out and allow my actions to determine my faith and the woman breaks down and starts crying because that is the exact word she has been praying that God would answer.
All of that to say to strengthen your faith we have to step out and act on what God asks us to do and he will display himself through us out of that obedience. Over time as we become faithful and trust in God's voice it says in Proverbs that he will bless those who trust and have faith in him.
