Have you ever noticed how the small things we do every day shape who we become? Whether it's eating healthy, exercising, or learning a new skill, consistency is what leads to growth. The same is true for our faith.
We often want a strong, unshakable faith, but it doesn’t just happen overnight. Just like we don’t wake up one day suddenly fit or successful, we don’t wake up spiritually mature without putting in the effort. Growing in faith requires discipline—consistent, intentional steps that align our hearts with God.
Spiritual disciplines like prayer, reading the Bible, generosity, and worship shouldn't be rituals; they are tools that help us connect with God. When we prioritise these habits, we make room for God to transform us.
Jesus put it simply in Matthew 6:33 (NLT):
"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
The challenge is that discipline isn’t always easy. It requires commitment, even when we don’t feel like it. But just like exercising or eating well, the more we practice, the more natural it becomes. Over time, our faith strengthens, and we start to see the impact—not just in our own lives, but in the lives of those around us.
If you’re feeling stuck in your faith or wondering how to grow, start small. Maybe commit to reading a few verses of the Bible each day or setting aside five minutes to pray. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.
What is one small step you can take this week to build your faith? The choice to start today could be the catalyst for something bigger than you imagine.
