Scripture Reference: “And he said to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.” – Matthew 8:26 (KJV)
Devotion: Faith is the key that unlocks the power of God in our lives. Yet many struggle with unbelief and doubt. Some may even say there’s no point in reading the Bible daily because they don’t feel anything happening. But the Word of God is not like any ordinary book; it is alive and active. The problem is never with the Word, but with our faith in receiving it.
When we approach Scripture without faith, we rob ourselves of blessings, wisdom, and the opportunity to grow closer to our Creator. Faith is what allows the seed of God’s Word to take root and bear fruit in our lives. Without it, the words remain on the page, but with it, the words transform our hearts, renew our minds, and strengthen our walk.
Jesus often reminded His disciples, “Oh ye of little faith.” He was teaching them, and us, that faith is the bridge between the promise and the fulfillment. If you’ve been struggling with doubt, choose today to believe God’s Word and trust that it will work in you. Faith is not about seeing results instantly; it’s about standing firm, knowing that God is faithful to perform His Word.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times I have doubted Your Word. Strengthen my faith and help me to believe that every promise in Scripture is true. Let Your Word be alive in me, transforming my thoughts, guiding my steps, and drawing me closer to You. Help me to trust in You fully, even when I don’t see immediate results. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
