Through faith
Out of all the nations on this earth, the Lord your God chose you to be his own. You belong to the Lord, so don’t behave like those who worship other gods. ~ Deuteronomy 14:2 (CEV)
There is only one God, and he accepts Gentiles as well as Jews, simply because of their faith. ~ Romans 3:30 (CEV)
KEY THOUGHT:
We relate to the one God through faith.
PRAYER:
Faithful God, thank you for recognizing my imperfect faith. Lead me into deeper and more mature faith so that I can live a life that is exclusively and fully dedicated to you. Amen.
