Believing God - Week 2

 

 

 

Words cannot express how much I am loving studying the Word of God with the ladies at my church. Special shout out to Carla S. for leading us each and every week!

We have all learned a 5 statement pledge of faith:

1. God is who He says He is.

2. God can do what He says He can do.

3. I am who God says I am.

4. I can do all things through Christ.

5. The Word of God is alive and active in me.

If you walk by our room and seeing us counting on our fingers, we are simply reciting the pledge!

This week has focused on our first statement of faith - God is who He says He is.

Ephesians 1:18-19New International Version (NIV)

¹⁸ I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened^{A)" sab="1110">} in order that you may know the hope to which he has called^{B)" sab="1111">} you, the riches^{C)" sab="1112">} of his glorious inheritance^{D)" sab="1113">} in his holy people,^{E)" sab="1114"> 19} and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

 

 

He wants us to believe Him!

 

 

Our daily life reflects who we believe Him to be. God reveals Himself to us in two primary ways:

1. His Word.

 

Psalm 100:1-3New International Version (NIV)

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

 

¹ Shout for joy^{A)" sab="1115">} to the Lord, all the earth.

²     Worship the Lord^{B)" sab="1123">} with gladness;

    come before him^{C)" sab="1128">} with joyful songs.

³ Know that the Lord is God.^{D)" sab="1133">}

    It is he who made us,^{E)" sab="1138">} and we are his^{a]" sab="1139">[a]};

    we are his people,^{F)" sab="1145">} the sheep of his pasture

 

 

 

2. His works.

 

 

Psalm 145:1-6New International Version (NIV)

A psalm of praise. Of David.

 

¹ I will exalt you,^{A)" sab="1117">} my God the King;^{B)" sab="1118">}

    I will praise your name^{C)" sab="1123">} for ever and ever.

² Every day I will praise^{D)" sab="1127">} you

    and extol your name^{E)" sab="1132">} for ever and ever.

³ Great^{F)" sab="1137">} is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^{G)" sab="1139">}

    his greatness no one can fathom.^{H)" sab="1144">}

⁴ One generation^{I)" sab="1148">} commends your works to another;

    they tell^{J)" sab="1153">} of your mighty acts.^{K)" sab="1154">}

⁵ They speak of the glorious splendor^{L)" sab="1158">} of your majesty—

    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.^{b]" sab="1163">[b]M)" sab="1165">}

⁶ They tell^{N)" sab="1169">} of the power of your awesome works—^{O)" sab="1170">}

    and I will proclaim^{P)" sab="1175">} your great deeds.
