Question of the Day: Where does faith come from?
Read about It
Read: Acts 14:8–10
Have you ever seen someone’s face light up with excitement? Maybe that is what this man looked like listening to Paul preach. Life would have been so hard for this man who had been crippled since birth. He would have had to depend on others for everything. Doctors didn’t have any hope of him being able to walk. But when he heard Paul preach, he was full of faith.
Faith comes from hearing the Word of God. Paul preached the truth of God’s Word, and the crippled man had the faith he needed to be healed. When we listen to and speak the truth of God’s Word, we will be full of faith to believe for the impossible.
