Summary

As we continue this week’s focus, seeking to put love into action, today we’re going to look at how simply being present can make all the difference in the life of another. As our world becomes more and more distracted, and takes less time to notice what’s happening in the life of another, may God empower us as his people to simply be present today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 139:7, and today's worship is Constant One by United Pursuit.

--

 

Faith doesn’t happen on its own. It’s a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It’s a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself. 

 

It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it’s supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you. 

 

We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life.  

 

With Faith you’ll: 

 

  • Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully
  • Study powerful moments of God’s faithfulness in scripture
  • Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith
  • Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life

 

And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God. 

 

Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!
