Faith comes by hearing and hearing alone

To what extent that faith comes by? Previously, I used to think that as long as we speak forth the Word of God, faith will come automatically. It was pretty interesting when my church pastor pointed out the scriptural verses to show us that faith actually comes by hearing and hearing alone - Romans 10:17

Many times, we tend to misplace faith to our own self-effort that we must do something to have faith. However it's not. It's only by the hearing the Word of God that faith will be stirred up within our hearts. When faith was being stirred up, we tend to speak forth thanksgiving to our Lord Jesus. Sometimes even when faith wasn't stirred up in our hearts, just listening to the sermons also brings forth blessings.

I never understood how listening to the Word of God can actually help me solve the problems until today. I had been fretting over some work and subconsciously, I ended up listening to sermons again. Praise be to Jesus that help came very fast. Initially I was having a lot of problems understanding a new programming language. And thank God that He sent my colleague to help me. My colleague ended up writing the entire program. :P and I've managed to learn some interesting stuffs.

I didn't realise it until much later when I reached home. Well.. the only thing I knew was that my inner being was being fed with the Word and I had no idea how the problems can actually be resolved.. Whatever it is, I still thank Daddy God for sending help.. :D

okie.. time to buzz off for another few days or rather weeks, I guess..
