KJV usage: Occurs 49x in 49 verses (OT).
Most people think of faith as an intellectual decision - "I believe in God therefore I have faith." But the Hebrew word for 'faith' - emunah - is less about knowing and more about doing.
Emunah literally means "to take action", so to have faith is to act. It's kinda like a staircase; you may intellectually know the stairs go up to the next level, but until you climb the stairs you won't experience the next level. What you do is more important than what you know.
What do you need to change today to ensure your faith is defined by what you do, instead of what you know?
