Colossians 2:6, 7
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith
Some Christians believe that walking by faith means being carried along by a mysterious, ethereal, indescribable inner sense called “faith.” But the walk of faith is much more practical and definable than that. Walking by faith simply means that you function in daily life on the basis of what you believe. Your belief system determines your behavior. If your behavior is off in a certain area, you need to correct your belief in that area because your misbehavior is the result of your misbelief.
“But how can I know what I really believe?” you may ask. Take a few minutes to complete the following statements as concisely and truthfully as possible.
I would be more successful if . . .
I would be more significant if . . .
I would be more fulfilled if . . .
I would be more satisfied if . . .
I would be happier if . . .
I would have more fun if . . .
I would be more secure if . . .
I would have more peace if . . .
Whatever you believe is the answer to these statements constitutes your present belief system.
Assuming that your basic physiological needs (food, shelter, safety, etc.) are met, you will be motivated in life by what you believe will bring your success, significance, fulfillment, satisfaction, happiness, fun, security and peace. If what you believe about these eight values does not line up with what God says about them, your walk of faith will be off to the same degree that your belief is off.
Prayer: Father, enable me to grow in my understanding of Your Word today so my faith-walk will be strengthened.

What is the secret key to the Bible? 
Wings of God
Great post! Yes may we believe the God we believe in! May we bring our thoughts into alignment with Christ’s and start speaking LIFE instead of cursing ourselves.
I found this defintion really useful:
PRIDE = Disagreeing with God
HUMILITY = Agreeing with God
Let’s find out and agree with what God says and agree with it!
Amen.
Amen!!
