Wow. Certainly a wealth of reading today! My mind is drawn swiftly to Abraham's faith in God.
[17] So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. - James 2:17 ESV
[17] By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, [18] of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." [19] He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. - Hebrews 11:17-19 ESV
Faith that works is faith that. then. works. Faith in God results in action. I believe! Therefore I act.
Redundant, I know...but yet shallow faith may need the repetition.
Where is your faith placed today? For whatever or whoever your faith is in will be your master. As Abraham aged, he trusted in himself less and believed God more.
Oh that I would daily believe!
