Deeper in Faith

Daily Scripture Threshing for Today, Tuesday, February 3, 2026

Today’s Text: Hebrews 11:1–6

Key Verse: Hebrews 11:6 (ESV) — “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”

Beloved in Christ, greetings in grace and peace! Yesterday, the Spirit beckoned us into a deeper life in Christ—rooted, grounded, and growing in Him. Today, He leads us one step further into the heart of that depth: the life of faith. If deeper living is the foundation of spiritual growth, then faith is the pillar that sustains it. You cannot go deep with God without walking by faith.

Faith is not a feeling but a firm persuasion rooted in the integrity of God’s Word. It is believing that what God says is truer than what you see. The deeper your faith, the steadier your walk. Shallow faith gives up when answers delay, but deeper faith holds on because it knows God cannot fail. True faith is not tested when things are easy but when obedience seems illogical.

The heroes of Hebrews 11 did not live by sight; they lived by unwavering trust. Abraham journeyed into the unknown. Noah built before rain existed. Moses forsook position for purpose. All because they believed Him who called them faithful. Depth in faith begins when you stop negotiating with fear and start agreeing with God.

Doubt asks, “What if it doesn’t work?” Faith declares, “It will, because God said so.” Deeper faith stands when circumstances shake, worships when waiting grows long, and obeys when outcomes seem delayed. Child of God, when your roots stretch into faith, your fruits will speak peace, power, and perseverance.

To go deeper in faith this month, choose to trust God not only for what He gives but for who He is. Faith in God has nothing to do with results. It does not demand outcomes—it is simply the posture of a yielded life that depends on God's nature. It is the voice of profound faith and hope in God even amidst immense suffering, loss, and the brink of death.

Job said, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him" (Job 13:15). He demonstrates that faith is daily declaration and/or demonstration of ultimate love and allegiance to God; and showing that you will hope in him and trust in him even if everything suggests otherwise. The deeper you trust, the lighter your burdens. The stronger you believe, the higher you rise.

Action Steps: Name one area where you’ve struggled to fully trust God. Lay it before Him in prayer, declaring His promises over it. Journal one faith victory from your past to remind yourself that the God who did it before will do it again.

Quote for the Day: “Faith is the anchor that holds you steady when the waves of life try to uproot your soul. The deeper you believe, the higher you’ll soar.” — (Simon Olatunji #quotablequote)

Let Us Pray: Father of faith, thank You for calling me deeper. Increase my trust, silence my doubts, and strengthen my heart to believe You against all odds. Help me to hold on to Your Word with conviction and courage. Let my faith rise, not in human reasoning but in divine reliability. I believe—and I will not fear. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
