38 BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM. (Hebrews 10:38 CSB)

At 6’6” it is hard enough finding clothes that fit. If anything I find shrinks even a little it looks like I bought toddler clothes.

When it comes to our faith we cannot allow it to shrink back either. Throughout life our faith is something that should be in a continual state of growth. Through daily reading of the Word and prayer we should feel closer and closer to God.

Thus, when we go through difficult times we have a cache of faith to draw upon so that we may not shrink back either. It is like drawing upon physical endurance, if we never exercise we have no well to draw from physically should we need a reserve.

Living by faith must mean also growing by faith.
