Genesis 15:1-6

It’s human nature to want to take matters into our own hands. If we feel like no one else can handle something correctly we assume, “Alright then I’ll just do it myself!” But this tactic doesn’t always work. Sometimes we need to rely on others to help us with our matters. Thankfully, God takes our most important matter, our salvation, into his own hands. We trust our God to give us righteousness from outside ourselves, just as Abram trusted the Lord’s promise and his faith was credited to him as righteousness.
