"No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God" (Romans 4:20, AMP).
Scripture tells us that faith without works is
dead. In other words, if the faith inside of us doesn’t get expression through
our actions and words, it will no longer be alive. If we don’t use it, we will
lose it, so to speak. We have to step out in faith in order to keep faith alive.
Every person has been given a measure of faith by God. When we hear the truth of
God’s Word, we receive more faith. That’s why it’s so important to put the Word
of God inside of you because when you do, you are building your faith. To keep
that faith alive and thriving, we have to put it to use. One way to put your
faith into action is through praise and worship. Praise is a supernatural force
that causes you to stand strong in faith even when your thoughts or
circumstances are coming against the truth. Praise keeps your thoughts going in
the right direction. It’s hard to be negative when you are declaring the
goodness of God!
Today, let praise make you stable and strong. Put that faith in your heart into
action. Look for reasons to thank God. As you do, you’ll feel that inner
strength and be empowered to move forward into victory all the days of your
life.
Heavenly Father, today I choose to bless Your
name. I thank You for life. I thank You for breath. I thank You for provision,
healing, strength and joy. Today I choose to put my faith in action by praising
You all day long. In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
