Advent - Abram's Faith

Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.

Gen 15:6

Abram believed.  Yep, that was it.  He believed.

But ...

Not it the sense of, "I believe that the sun is 93 million miles from the earth," or "I believe I'll have some of that there pistachio icecream," or, even, "I believe that God could if He wanted too."  It was a belief that compelled Abram to fully rely on Him.  Our belief resembles the classic, "I believe you can push me across the tightrope over Niagara Falls in a wheelbarrow, but I'm not getting in it!"

What does your belief compel you to do?  Get in the wheelbarrow!
