“Faith Can Move Mountains” - Matthew 17:20

Introduction:

Do you desire to create good faith-filled habits in your life? Are you ready to strengthen your faith in God?

The Word of God is clear about how to strengthen our faith. As Christians, we must guard our hearts and trust God to keep us in our walk with Him.

Below are seven habits that will strengthen your faith.

Seven habits that will strengthen your faith:

Spend Time in His Word – Everyday, it is important to spend time in God’s Word, the Bible. Creating a daily morning routine is a wonderful way to get in the habit. This can be reading one Psalm or Proverb each day. Or, you can follow a Bible Reading Plan to help you.

Stay in Prayer – Prayer is relationship. It is talking to God and what better way to develop a habit to strengthen your faith. Talk to God throughout the day. You can create a “prayer time” to start your day. But, don’t forget to take time to talk to God throughout the day!

 Guard Your Heart – Proverbs 4:23-27 reminds us to above all else to guard our hearts. Everything we do in life flows from the heart. So, if we are walking in God’s peace, we will flow in His peace. If we are walking in God’s love, we will flow in His love.

 Stay Focused on God – Staying focused on God throughout each day is a faith-filled habit which brings life. As we keep our eyes on Him, He will guide us, lead us, and direct us in all things.

  Place Trust in God and the Bible – During our faith walk, we must believe God will take care of us no matter what. We must believe His Word is true. In doing this, we will walk in renewed strength and faith in our lives.

  Choose Wise Company – Remember the old adage “we become like those we hang around?” If we keep wise company, we will grow in wisdom. If we keep the wrong company, we risk being led astray.

  Walk in Thankfulness – We all need to walk in hope, love, joy! By focusing on the good things of God in our lives, we will keep a heart of thankfulness. A cheerful heart is like medicine to the soul, but a crushed spirit dries the bones (Proverbs 17:22).

Create Faith-Filled Habits to Strengthen Your Faith

I encourage you in the Lord to create faith-filled habits to strengthen your faith. Create a daily routine to spend time in God’s Word and talk to Him in prayer. Guard your heart and be aware of what is “flowing” from your mouth.

Develop a habit to stay focused on God throughout the day. Put your trust in the Lord and what His Word is speaking to you. Be careful who you hang around in your life and choose to walk in thankfulness.

By following these seven habits, you will grow stronger in the Lord. You will not be tossed to and fro in the storms of life. He is your Strength! He is your Encouragement! He has given you His faith-filled Word to live day by day!
