Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God

whose ways you may not understand at the time. Oswald Chambers

Truth Revealed (John 1:1, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Names of our God and King

Discerning the Voice of God (Genesis 3:1-8)

Names of Christ

Transformed by His love (Joshua 3:6)

The King and I will connect through His Holy Word. As I discover more about the depths of His love for me, I’ll look for ways to show His unconditional love to those I consider unlovable. Thoughts to ponder:

1. What names of God from the Old Testament speak to your current needs? 2. What kinds of distractions keep you from hearing God as He speaks to you? 3. How have your environmental and experiential influences shaped the way you view

life? 4. How has God demonstrated His love specifically to you? 5. What names for Jesus speak to your current needs?
