Our mysterious God has placed the nutritional substances we need for spiritual growth within Himself and His Word. The fact that we will never know all there is to know about Him forces us to live by faith. It forces us to trust Him. Both faith and trust are born out of not knowing. The next time your senses are deprived from proof of what you need, want or desire coming to past, know that the mysterious side of His Word is the catalyst for your growth and development.
Faith comes naturally. Walking by faith is a part of the nature of man. We were designed by God to live by faith. The problem is that we’re more accustomed applying the principles of faith to things in the natural world than to things in the spiritual world. There are a myriad of things we do on a daily basis that are faith related. We listen to and trust the news, our leaders, our employers, the labels on our favorite snacks, the fast food counterperson, and the medication we consume. This list could literally go on forever. We would be faith giants if we would take God at His Word and act on it to the same degree that we trust the products and people we interact with on a daily basis.
