Today and tomorrow, our assignment is to complete “Bible Study: Know It—Stow It—Show It” on p. 101-104. The questions here are based on Genesis 15. By studying this passage of Scripture about the covenant between God and Abram, we can learn to be confident that God will keep His guarantee as we trust God to work in our lives.
So, tell me ladies. Are you learning that God will indeed keep His Word as you trust Him? Do you ever feel like He’s let you down or does your trust of Him go beyond that?
I know these can be difficult concepts to think about, but if we just sweep the hard stuff under the rug, our faith will never have a chance to grow. I pray for you each to be empowered by the Word of God. I pray for your obedience to Him and for you to Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and just watch what He will do. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:5-6
When we commit our ways to the Lord, that means EVERYTHING. We give our lives, families, jobs, relationships, and possessions all over to Him because we trust Him fully. We choose to believe that He can care for us better than we can care for ourselves. We do this out of obedience and trust. (And here’s a little sneak peek into the future: Trust is our word of the week next week!)
Are you driven by faith or fear? Are you still struggling with fear today? How can you move from fear to faith? (note you have to take action to do this) Please share with the group in the comment section of my blog.
It’s an honor to be on this journey from fear to faith with you. I will be praying for each person specifically who comments today.

Since I am still struggling with fear today, I think I can move from fear to faith by taking the next step into really being involved in God’s Word every day, and learning to give all to God and truly trust Him, not leaving Him out like I do now, and/or giving it up and then scooping it back up and trying to take it back into my own power (which belongs to God) and deal with it, consciously or not…Trust is my biggest issue and the thing I need to work on the most when making the journey from fear to faith!
I a driven by feelings…so if I’m feeling good, I can very easily be driven by faith, but if I’m feeling bad, fear has a very easy opportunity to reign in me. Right now I have several things to be fearful about. I am months behind on my rent and trying to figure out how to get caught up before it ends up causing me and my family to be evicted (I live w/ my sister who is a single mother, her 10-year-old daughter, & my mom came to live w/ us recently). My mom has no job and has been sick a lot, and also has no vehicle, and my sister’s car just broke down completely the other day. I just started a new job last week and accidentally backed into one of their cars, which was new, and am now fearful over the cost of repairs when I’m already struggling to keep my head above water financially. Thankfully I still have my job & they are Christians and have been very forgiving. Throughout all of ths I have maintained a levl of faith and trust in God’s provision that I once did not have. Does that mean I’m not scared? No way. I am still scared but I’m just not allowing myself to dwell on the what ifs and the worries because if I do I will have a meltdownand that will not be productive! There are other was n which I am very overwhelmed and feel pressured right now that I won’t go into, except to say I feel like alot is expected of me by other and sometimes I just don’t feel I have the strength to keep being there for everyone else. So that’s where I’m at now with the fear issue.
Sorry for the typos…doing this from my phone & sometimes it deletes letters I type & I don’t realize it until after I’ve posted my comment. It’s frustrating!
Praying for you!!!
Now that I am more aware of the fears I have, when I start to worry, stress, and be fearful, I question am I truly trusting God with this situation? The answer 99.9% of the time is no. So I have a decision to make in that moment: I trust God or I worry and stress. This study is so amazing. My days have been better since making a choice daily, hourly, or even every minute, to TRULY TRUST GOD IN EVERY SITUATION. I still have days that go terribly wrong, I decide I would rather worry and stress because I know how to fix it and God really doesn’t understand (how crazy is that thought
LOL). I am a work in progress. Like the clay on the potter’s wheel. Thank you God for this beautiful day, the job I have to go to, the car to get me there. Thank You God for Loving me!!!
