Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

 

Exercising ones faith requires daily effort but when our faith grows strong, things work out according to GOD's will and even though it may not seem like it at times, GOD's will is often what we want for ourselves. When our faith grows, our desires become more spiritual and thats exactly what our FATHER wants.

 

We face many challenges each day and the first of my daily faith exefcise is to close my eyes and picture GOD helping me personally with those challenges. Whether its financial, marriage or family related or whatever, I try to picture GOD actually with me and looking out for me. By doing this, I feel a closer relationship with my MAKER and can actually feel HIM working in my life. When you begin to feel GOD's presence, its only natural that your faith will increase. By picturing GOD at work for you, you will develop a closer relationship and understanding of just who GOD is. Many think that GOD is a fierce disciplinarian but thats not so. GOD is a loving father who wants nothing but the best for us and our happiness. Our desires and HIS desire for us start to become one and the same and we begin to listen to what HE is saying to our hearts. You can expect to feel your trust transfering from yourself tyo HIM.

 

Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
