TODAY’S READING
Genesis 15:1-6
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Today I will step out in faith and follow God’s call.
Abram trusted the Lord, and the Lord recognized Abram’s high moral character. – Genesis 15:6 (CEB)
Abram was a man in a seemingly impossible situation. He had been commissioned by God to leave his father’s house and journey to an unknown destination. The commission came with a promise: God would bless him and his descendants immensely.
As wonderful as this promise was, it must have seemed just as impossible as the commission. Abram was advanced in years and his wife was barren. But despite the odds, Abram decided to believe the Lord. Abram took a leap of faith, trusting the word of an unseen God who made a never-ending covenant with him.
This is the kind of faith that pleases God. Faith requires that we do what God calls us to do, trusting that God knows our abilities better than we do. And God will back us with power and resources we otherwise wouldn’t have so that we can step out in faith to obey God’s call.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Faithful God, thank you for calling us to follow and serve you. Help us to rely on you as we step out in faith. Amen.
PRAYER FOCUS
Those hesitant to follow God’s call
