Faith cannot simply be belief – in God, or in a set of teachings – for “even the demons believe and tremble” (James 2:19). In this show, we discern what faith is, by looking at what it isn’t.
This show is from the previous LOVE the Word® series, the Entrust episode, available here.

O | Observe (Connect the passage to your life and recent events.)
Hebrews 11:6,  “And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Do you really believe God wants to reward you? What do you think He might want to reward you with?
V | Verbalize (Pray about your thoughts and emotions.)
Remembering that He loves you and that you are in His presence, talk to God about the particulars of your O – Observe step. You may want to write your reflections in your LOVE the Word® journal. Or, get a free journal page and guide in the right-hand margin.
E | Entrust (Rest in the Word.)

Minutes 12:01-24:00 – Faith in what we want or think should happen is not real faith
Minutes 24:01-36:00 – Faith is not my ability to discern or know God's will 
Minutes 36:01-48:00 – Faith is not in my timing; faith is in the Person if the Holy Trinity, His goodness
