[Daily Scripture] Daily Scripture Email – Devotion – Monday, 6 January 2014 “God's Solution: Persons of Faith”

[Daily Scripture] Daily Scripture Email – Devotion – Monday, 6 January 2014 “God's Solution:  Persons of Faith”
The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land where I will show you... So Abram left, as The Lord had told him (Gen. 12:1, 4).
Abraham (his name was changed) believed God and did what God asked.
That's what faith is; believing to the point of acting; trusting, or as the old song goes:  "Trust and obey, for there's no other way..."
This is what God wants:  a trusting relationship.  It's what every parent wants, it's what every spouse wants.  Trust is the cornerstone of life.  Without it, nothing can thrive; but with it - ah, life abundant, which is the kind of Life Jesus came to bring to us - but it requires trust and trustworth-iness on our part.

Dear God, deepen my level of trust in YOU today.  Teach me to hold YOUR hand as I walk through each day.  Amen.
