May 9, 2018 - THE WAY OF FAITH


Day 129 - (Today’s Bible readings: Leviticus 4:1–13; Psalm 119:9-16; Mark 12:13-27)

“Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth, unite my heart to fear your name.”  (Psalm 86:4 ESV) 

It is a wise person who asks the Lord to guide them. Unfortunately, the world only sees Jesus as a teacher. He is much, much more than that.

The terms “way” and “walk” are Old Testament terms for “faith” and “walking by faith.” The call is for us sinners to have faith in Jesus as our only Savior and our only hope. What a comforting way to live our lives!

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for teaching me the way of faith. Keep me strong in my faith that I may remain Yours today and forever.  Amen.
