Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re launching a brand new series seeking to position ourselves to receive more of the reality of God’s promises every day. There is so much available to you and to me in God that we fail to tap into. And today we’re looking specifically at how waiting on the Lord, sitting patiently and intentionally at his feet, positions us to receive God’s promise of strength. May God guide us to a better understanding, and deeper experience, of his promises today.
Our Scripture for today comes from Isaiah 40:31, and today's worship is But I Know You by Jillian Edwards.

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!

| 1:50.2 | In a world where those who act sooner and faster seem to be more successful, the ideas |
