From the Life Lesson:
Job 13:15 - "Even if God kills me, I have hope in him. I will still defend my ways to his face.
Job 19:25 - "I know that my Defender lives, and in the end he will stand upon the earth."
Psalm 13:5,6 - "I trust in your love. My heart is happy because you saved me. I sing to the LORD because he has taken care of me."
These next references are entire chapter and verses about faith. "Faith is being sure of the things we hope for and knowing something is real even if we do not see it." I will write about these chapters when I come to them in my readings.
Daniel 3:6 – 7:23 - Shadrach, Meschach, Abednego, and Daniel
Matthew 9:18–25 - The young girl brought back to life and the woman healed.
Luke 7:36–50 - The sinful woman washing Jesus' feet.
Romans 4:18–24 - Abraham's faith
Hebrews 11 - An entire chapter about faith. Believing.
Next Entry: Nehemiah 8:1–18 (Feast of Shelters)
From the Life Lesson:
"I happen to be facing a crisis at this time" went on my seatmate. "Just what it is, is irrelevant, but to get ready for it my mind must be working at a maximum, so I follow a procedure. First, I sharpen my mind by reading the (the Bible)... then I affirm God's presence. I remind myself that the LORD is with me, for He said, "I am with you always!" I spend a moment sensing and feeling the LORD's actual presence... next, I pray that my decisions will be right. Having completed those procedures, I then practice one of the wisest bits of advice in the Bible. Know what that is?" "You tell me," I urged. "Having done all, to stand. When you've done all you can do, what more can you do? Just put everything confidently into God's hands. He will bring it out okay." ~ From The Positive Power of Jesus by Norman Vincent Peale.We are standing. We choose to believe.
