FAITH

GENESIS 15:6 (ABP)
Abram put his trust in GOD. It was on the basis of that faith that GOD recognized Abram as someone who lived right.

GALATIANS 3:7 (ABP)
It's pretty clear that the real children of Abraham are those who have the same kind of faith he had. That is, those who put their trust in Christ are those with the greatest family resemblance.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
The clearest way to have faith in God is to put your trust in Christ.

PRAYER
Great God, you called our father Abraham to leave behind his secure life and to trust you for a new life. I confess that I'm not the most trusting person. I like to see everything clearly laid out for me. You've done that in Christ and yet I still struggle to have day-in-day-out faith. Take the limited faith that I have and multiply it so that I'm trusting you for each and every moment. I'm not sure what the journey involves but I know that you'll get me to where I need to be. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
