October 11

Blessing All Nations

Experienced through faith
Genesis 15:1-6

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Jeremiah 20-21 : PM - Colossians 1

And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness
(Gen 15:6).

I tend to be a skeptic. It's tough to believe salespeople on the other end of the phone who claim to have just what you need, as though they know what you need. We live in a world where truth is seldom counted as an absolute. Because of how the world views truth, we can easily become skeptical. We can become skeptical of those we do not know. We can become skeptical of those we care about. If we're not careful, we can even become skeptical of God.

People often will fail us. We sometimes fail others. It's part of being a human in a fallen world. Yet God will never fail us. He keeps His promises. God calls us, as His children, to trust Him. When we choose to trust in what God says, as did Abraham. He counts it as righteousness.

Father, thank You for Your faithfulness to me.
