Romans 10:17 (ESV)
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Meditative thoughts:
How does this verse emphasize the importance of God’s Word for my faith in Christ to exist?
How is God strengthening my faith as I spend time in the Bible each day?

From: Heartbeat!, Living with Passion in the Word of Christ, Stephen J. Carter, cph

p. 23 -- I was led to pray a simple prayer that has transformed my ministry over the years: "Lord, give me a thirst for Your Word! Amen." God answered the prayer immediately by leading me to daily reading and reflection on His Word. That thirst for His Word revitalized my preaching and teaching, my pastoral care and outreach. In the long term, that thirst for the Word of Christ opened my eyes to God's love at work in all of life's circumstances and challenges. The more He teaches me, the more I need and desire to learn. That simple prayer more than forty years ago continues each day. "Lord, give me a thirst for Your Word ! Amen."
