Bible Question: It's seem like I've been tested by the devil for most of my life and he appears in all shapes and forms...I'm sure if this happens to any person for a long period of time their faith begins to dwindle. My quetion is how can i put the devil under my feet? How can I renew my faith??? |
Bible Answer: Kent, I think we Christians are prone to complain of symptoms of a wavering faith when what ails us is not really that at all, but rather a spiritual anorexia that follows in the wake of our disinclination to feed ourselves properly upon the word of God. As the body without sufficient food atropies so does the spirit. We lose our spiritual tone, we flag in our zeal, we become spiritually weak and undernourished. The word of God is our spiritual food. The Holy Spirit is the agent that enables us to digest it.Prayer rounds out the spiritual menu. If we keep on guard to see to it that we are spiritually well-nourished every day of our lives, the matter of keeping our faith strong will take care of itself. Whether it is weakness of body or weakness of faith that plagues us, in looking to the cause we are likely find the cure. --Hank |
