If we were to be very truthful, we would admit that we frequently give more attention to what we see, than our faith and what the word of God says.
I have to honestly say I get caught in that trap at times also.
I speak the right things, often saying them at the right time without much thought,
then comes the test, to show me if I indeed believe what it is I have said.
1Peter 1;7(NIV)"These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refine by fire..."
There are things that occur in our lives that will test our faith.
We may say what others would expect us to say as believers, but have we truly believed what it is that we have said, or have we just spoken out of habit?
Like with all things, practice makes perfect.
When we make a decision to practice READING, SPEAKING, and MEDITATING on God's word, than we will come to the place where it becomes soreal to us, believing it, expecting it, and thanking God for it even before it is manifest in the natural.
Romans10;17 (KJV)"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
When we do this, we will truly begin to experience His abundant goodness.
The abundance of life He has promised us.
