What God is saying today:
Trust Him more. If there is a lack of trust, we should examine our faith, not attack His character or question His will.
How faith is formed and is being formed:
Definition of Biblical Faith: an allegiance of the heart that leads to unwavering trust
1. The transformed heart is the of Faith.
John 11:21-22 NIV: “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
2. The renewed mind our Faith.
Heart without mind, you’ll be faithful, but you may turn into a zealous weirdo that scares people away. Mind without heart, and you may become a judgmental Pharisee. But a person with a devoted heart and a formed mind becomes a useful for the kingdom.
