Keeping the Faith!!!

The commentary from the Loose-Leaf Lectionary once again gives us something to think and pray about.  The author begins with a good question: "Do you dare to believe?"  In Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18, Abram has a vision from the word of The Lord.  This passage has three components: the promise of a son, the promise of countless offspring, the promise of land (3884).  With all of these, Abram put his faith in The Lord.  Here is a great quote to remember: "Faith means becoming firm or secure by leaning upon The Lord" (3884).  Living our faith is a way of life and we always need to keep the faith no matter what we encounter in life.  The Lord is always with us, so take comfort, lean on him, and, have faith!!!!  God Bless You!!!
