The Challenge to Beleive

One Year Bible for Today: Genesis 16:1-18:15; Matthew 6:1-24; Psalm 7:1-17; Proverbs 2:1-5

Faith is the monetary unit of the Kingdom of God.  All God asks of us is to believe.  He certainly wants us to obey and serve, but the FIRST STEP is always pure faith in Him.  Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God no matter what you do (Heb. 11:6).  With faith, you are always pleasing to Him.  He is not ashamed to be called your God (Heb. 11:16). 

Abraham had a promise from God.  But it didn't seem to be working out.  He was tempted to provide his own solution. "I'll just do it myself."  This proved to be a serious error.  Throughout the Bible, whether Noah, or David, or our friend Abraham, there is only one way to "do business" with God, and that is pure, raw, unalloyed faith in Him. 

May God today help us to walk as sons of Abraham who believed God.
