Congratulations! We have now learned an entire chapter of the Bible that is not a Psalm. I do not know about you, but I think this is an accomplishment. I can tell you, God is already using the verses that we have learned this year in my life. There have been several times when Him has brought them to my mind at just the time I needed them. This week we move from focusing on love to turning our hearts toward faith. Just recently at the dinner table my oldest son asked, "What is faith?" Wow! That is some kind of question from a five year old. I politely submitted to the authority of my husband and allowed him to answer that one. But, it is a good question and an important one for us to consider. So, for the next few weeks we will be learning twelve verses the Robert Morgan places under the heading, "Faith: Trusting God and Resting in His Word". Hopefully, through this process we will learn to trust God more and in doing so find rest in Him. We begin in Romans. A familiar passage to most of us. But as we ponder over these verses this week, let us remember to live each day of our lives by faith and not be ashamed.
Romans 1:16-17
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteouness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
