Faith Comes By Hearing

Faith comes by hearing, hearing the word of God
Satan will try to detour you, if in the word you determine to stay.
Read, meditate, memorize, study, hear and apply the word,
Be quipped, alert, and steadfast, will keep the enemy at bay.

Mustard see a tiny seed barely seen with the naked eye.
 God’s word requires mustard seed faith, and on him we must rely.
Mountains cannot move, stumbling blocks will trip us down
Only mustard seed faith will help us to stand our ground.

Faith defines, a substance hope for, the evidence of things not seen.
By faith we read the stories of old, the now, and what has been.
Faith the driving force, the fuel for our, the Christian‘s life.
Faith comes by hearing, in Christ we must abide.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
