Living in Increase (Part 5) - Increase in FaithSample

Individual Proof

God has His way of proving Himself to every individual. We each have basic needs that all humans cannot survive without. These basic needs include breath, water, food, etc. However, there are other needs that differ for everyone. Some individuals need healing, while others need provision. Some individuals need patience, while others need courage. While we may all need these things at some point in our lives, since our spiritual journeys look different, the time, amount, and method of how God meets our needs will differ.

If you need something from God, ask Him. As you seek God first and He meets your needs, this will further prove He exists. Yes, the miracle of healing or provision proves that God exists, but how He answers you also proves that God exists. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), but He is also a personal God. Yes, God knows humanity and loves the world–but He also knows and loves you personally. Since He created you, He knows and loves you automatically! His love is not something to be earned but something to be received.

As you seek God’s Kingdom and righteousness first, He will provide everything you need. You may be surprised at how personalized God’s response to your prayers will be! This personalization is further proof, individual proof, that God exists and loves you.
