Growing Exponentially with Faith

In everyday life, we often forget the importance of stopping to reflect on our faith, values and relationship with God. This article seeks to offer a space for reflection, using biblical verses that invite us to reconnect with the divine in the midst of the challenges of everyday life.


"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

Life can be full of uncertainties, and we often try to solve problems through our own abilities. But Scripture encourages us to trust fully in the Lord, even when our understanding seems sufficient. By surrendering control of our lives to God, we acknowledge that His wisdom surpasses ours, and in return, He makes our paths clear.

This trust in God means handing over our worries, important decisions, and our future. It can be challenging to let go, especially when our minds crave control, but this is where faith and humility come into play. When we trust God, we demonstrate our belief in His goodness and His ability to guide us to what’s best.


"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." Psalm 23:1

This well-known verse reminds us that God provides for all our needs. In times of scarcity or emotional difficulty, it’s easy to feel as though we are lacking. However, the Lord, as our Shepherd, ensures that we have everything we need to fulfill His purpose in our lives. His provision is sufficient even in the darkest moments.

Psalm 23 is a source of comfort, especially when we are uncertain. It encourages us to trust that God is attentive to our needs, and even when life presents its challenges, His provision is constant. Our role is to stay faithful and trust in His plan, knowing He will never forsake us.


"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33

Often, our hearts and minds are preoccupied with material concerns, our future, and daily problems. Jesus offers us powerful advice: seek first God’s kingdom. When we align our lives with His will and righteousness, everything else falls into place. This verse is a call to prioritize the eternal over the temporary and trust that God will meet our needs.

In practice, this means focusing on how we can live for God’s glory rather than being consumed by worldly worries. As we put God first, the concerns of this world lose their grip on us, and we rest in His promise of provision.


Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:14

Patience during trials is a challenging virtue to cultivate, yet this verse encourages us to wait for the Lord. Sometimes the answers to our prayers seem delayed, or circumstances don’t improve quickly, but God calls us to be strong and hopeful as we wait. Waiting on the Lord is an active expression of faith, filled with the expectation that His timing is perfect.

In the midst of uncertainty, this verse reminds us not to give up. God strengthens us as we wait, empowers us to persevere, and gives us the hope that His response will come at the perfect time. As we wait, we deepen our trust in His plan and His goodness, knowing that even though our timeline may not align with His, His will is always for our ultimate good.

The key is to trust that God sees beyond what we can see. He knows what we need, and His plan for us is always for our good. Even when we go through dark or confusing times, we can hold on to this promise that God is working on something greater for us, something that will bring us hope and a future filled with His presence and blessing.
