Apostles Creed, #1

"I believe"

The beginning of the Apostles Creed...

To believe is to trust, to trust in something greater than self, greater than the autonomous individual.

Prov 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.
