“It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.”
– Romans 4:13
 As you live a life filled with faith and allow God to deepen your trust, you will develop a vision. This vision is not grounded in laws, rules, or religion, nor is it shaped by the fear of feeling stuck. Instead, through faith, you can embrace a vision for a fulfilling life—one that encompasses complete provision. The vision you hold will include meaningful relationships and an outlook on a beautiful life. This is what God desires for us. He doesn’t just want us to have a full cup; He wants our cups to overflow.
God is on your side and loves you even more than you love yourself. He is more supportive of you than anyone else in the world. Just as a father takes pride in his children, God is proud of you. He sees you through the lens of grace. Today, as your brother in Christ, I want to encourage you to trust in God’s character to help you through whatever challenges you’re facing. He will carry you through. Amen? Friend, today, as we focus on Romans 4:13,14, the Apostle Paul states, “It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world.” Do you see the emphasis of his message? The promise didn’t come from following rules or acting religiously. Instead, it came “through the righteousness that comes by faith. If those who rely on the law are considered heirs, then faith is meaningless and the promise has no value because the law brings about wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression. “We have the great privilege of trusting in the character of God! |

As I walk by faith, I am learning to trust in this idea of resting in the Lord‘s “complete provision,“ as you said. Abraham learned that the Lord provided exactly what was needed at exactly the right time. Crowder has given us a popular song that includes the words, “God really loves us.“ Indeed, as that song also says, “We are not alone!“ I am also learning the peace of feeling carried by the God of the universe who loves me. Given all the whirlwind and turbulence in world events these days, I can sleep well, because I am at ease, resting in these truths.
