Good Works

S - Genesis 15:6, NLT ~ And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.

O - Although Abram had been demonstrating his faith thru his actions, it was his belief in the Lord, not his actions, that made Abram right with God. We, too, can have a right relationship with God by trusting Him. Our outward actions - church attendance, prayer, good deeds - will not by themselves make us right with God. A right relationship is based on faith - the heartfelt inner confidence that God is who He says He is and does what He says He will do!

A - I need to trust God! I also need to believe He will do what His Word says He will do. I need that inward confidence in Christ and not just rely on my outward actions to make this a relationship!  So many times we get caught up in the "business" of a relationship with Christ we often forget that He wants us to trust in Him & believe in Him. Not just to "show" Him but to rely on Him.

P - Lord, please help me in my quest for a "relationship" with You! I have all the actions down just fine, now I need to focus on trusting & believing in You. I know I believe & trust but I just need to put those things into action in my life on a daily basis. Not just in times of trials, but DAILY!
