My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
—Proverbs 4:20-23
It is tough when it seems you are hanging on by a thread. It is a relief to let go and trust in God’s Word. God sent His Word to heal and deliver you from destruction (Psalm 107:20). His Word is His truth for your life. It is His will and His best for you. Don’t weaken its power to work in your life because there is no physical evidence to believe it. Faith is the substance of what you hope for. It is the evidence of what you can’t see (Hebrews 11:1). Nothing is impossible when you believe (Mark 9:23).
God’s Word is true. It is supernaturally powerful to produce life and heal you from the inside out—spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. However, His Word is not true in you until it becomes your Word. You must give His Word full attention and keep it continually before you. Don’t allow doubts about God’s truth to hinder what the Word says is true for you. Doubt prevents you from receiving God’s promises (James 1:7-8). Faith pleases God. Needing to see God’s Word in action to believe does not constitute faith or please Him (Hebrews 11:6). His Word is His life yearning to manifest itself in you. And faith is the way you receive it.
Faith comes alive when you spiritually hear God’s Word (Romans 10:17). If you want the promise God has given you to be true, listen to His Word, pay attention to it, and keep sowing it in the midst of your heart. Your heart is where you conceive what you believe, and it comes to life. You are always sowing something in your heart—either what is true or what is not true. God’s truth will either come to life or the fruit of your unbelief. It is your choice to believe in God. Quiet the other voices. Quiet your doubt. Continually trust that God, the Word, is faithful to accomplish who He is in your life. Hold fast to the confession of your hope without wavering, for God who promised you is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Out of the abundance of your heart, keep speaking the good treasure He has promised (Luke 6:45). Don’t give in to doubt or give up. God is faithful to you. He seeks your faithfulness. Are you fully convinced that God will perform what He has promised you (Romans 4:21)?
God’s Word is for you, not against you (Romans 8:31). Give God’s Word your full attention. Continually renew your mind with its truth. Exercise the measure of faith God has given you and believe His Word. Don’t allow thoughts that contradict its truth. Keep His Word at the center of your heart. Guard it with all diligence, for out of your heart comes what you have allowed to be conceived. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).
The mind is where doubt arises. It is when doubt is conceived in the heart that it becomes unbelief. And when there is unbelief in the heart, the issues of life that spring forth are not of God. When the Holy Spirit reveals the truth of God’s Word, sow it in your heart, hold on to it, and protect it from doubt and unbelief. Continue to deny your flesh or anyone else who comes to tell you it is not true or impossible, simply because you don’t already see it in your life. Reject doubt and believe. His Word is spirit, life, and health to all who find it.
“It is the Spirit who gives life; your flesh profits nothing,” Jesus said. “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe” (John 6:63-64).
Do you believe the words He speaks to you? Is His Word manifesting in you?
