Dear Friends,

Welcome to this issue of Living Faith: Trusting God Every Day. As we move forward in the new year, it's easy to feel both excited and uncertain about what lies ahead. Yet, one thing remains true: each day is an opportunity to trust God in deeper ways. We may not always know what tomorrow holds, but we know the One who holds our future, and He is faithful.

In this issue, we dive into the beauty of living a life of trust—letting go of the emotional burdens that weigh us down and embracing the freedom that comes when we choose faith over fear. No matter what challenges or joys we face, God is right beside us, offering His grace, His strength, and His peace every single day.

Let this issue be a reminder to you that trusting God is a daily choice—a choice that leads us closer to His perfect peace. With every step of faith, we grow stronger in His love and in His promise to always be with us.

Encouraging you in God’s truth,

Our Faithful God

By: Katie Davis Majors

Do not be afraid. It is the most often repeated command in all of Scripture. God must have known how quickly fear and anxiety slip into our hearts. Our minds so readily begin to spiral into worry, and before we know it, we are in a deep abyss of what-ifs and what-abouts. I am often surprised by how frequently I have to learn, again, not to be afraid and by how quickly, just when I think I’ve got it mastered, I forget yet again.

In the Old Testament we read about how Abram gave up his right to the riches he plundered from the four Eastern kings while saving Lot. He rejected the offer of instant wealth because he wanted God alone to receive all the glory when he finally inherits the land God has promised and becomes a great nation.

I have a lot to learn here. Often when I don’t understand what God is doing or when I feel that He is taking too long to come through on His promises, I’m inclined to take things into my own hands, to look for sufficiency and a solution elsewhere. But not Abram. He’s far from home, he’s getting old, he still has no children, but he trusts fully in the promise of God.

And in reply to this faith, this clear show of trust, God says to Abram, “Do not be afraid. . . I am . . . your very great reward” (Genesis 15:1).

Not your land.

Not your financial security.

Not your job, not your wife, not your family.

I am your shield. I will protect you.

I am your great reward. I will be all you need.

No amount of riches, no amount of land, no number of descendants could be a better reward than God Himself.
