1 Chronicles 13:1-14:17; Ezekiel 14:1-15:8; John 5:1-23
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Prov. 1:7
Faith in God is a fundamental principle for effective living, for understanding the times and having a right attitude toward God, people and life. It enables one to live in an honourable and wise way. Others then should be able to discern our values, standards and priorities. Our conduct, speech, reverence for God and respect for others, reveal what we have really learned. —Gaius C. Goff
Lord, give me faith!—to live from day to day,
With tranquil heart to do my simple part,
And, with my hand in Thine, just go Thy way.
Lord, give me faith!—to trust, if not to know;
With quiet mind in all things, Thee to find,
And, child-like, go where Thou would have me go. —John Oxenham
