Rely
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. Galatians 3:7-9
When you rely on something, what does that mean to you? Do you count on someone to do what they say they are going to do, or do you lean on someone who you need in times of struggle? A word that I see relating to the word "rely" is "trust." Trust is a funny word in today's society, because the enemy has his way with so many people, there are those who cannot be trusted or relied upon. So, you might find yourself asking, who can I trust or rely on to help me in my needs? I believe trust is built in someone through our own faith in our Lord and Savior. I am not saying just because we have faith in Christ that you are going to be able to trust every person that comes into your life, but what I am saying is that if you have that faith, I think it is much easier to discern who these people are and if you can rely on them. Clearly in the scripture it talks about those who have faith are blessed. I think being blessed allows you to see things that the enemy tries to hide from you. Faith brings about a strength and clarity we wouldn't have otherwise. So Rely on Him first, before you rely on your fellow man.
Have a great weekend.
