What The Bible Says About Trusting God

 Tonight we are going to take a look at What The Bible Says About Trusting God. The scriptures we are going to look at tonight are Isaiah 26:4, Romans 8:28, Joshua 1:9, Psalm 28:7, Romans 15:13, Jeremiah 17:7-8, Hebrews 13:8, Isaiah 26:3, Mark 5:36, Philippians 4:6-7, and Hebrews 11:6. 

Tonight we are talking about What The Bible says about Trusting God, and as we look at the scriptures we read tonight, we see how God doesn't leave us and how God is in control of every situation as long as we put our Faith, our Hope, and our Trust In Him. Before I continue further, I want to share the scripture Proverbs 3 verses 5-6 that says: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Tonight we are talking about Trusting God and what the Bible says about it. With the verse I shared, it in a lot of ways is a reminder for us that if we trust the plans that God has for us, if we don't lean on our own understanding, and give our needs to Him in prayer, acknowledge him, He will make our paths straight. 

I would like to share a song with all of you. The song says this: I need you to soften my heart And break me apart, I need you to open my eyes To see that You're shaping my life, All I am, I surrender, Give me faith to trust what you say, That you're good and your love is great, I'm broken inside, I give you my life, I need you to soften my heart And break me apart, I need you to pierce through the dark, And cleanse every part of me, All I am, I surrender, Give me faith to trust what you say, That you're good and your love is great, I'm broken inside, I give you my life, 'Cause I may be weak, But Your spirit strong in me My flesh may fail, My God you never will, I may be weak

But Your spirit strong in me, My flesh may fail, My God you never will, Give me faith to trust what you say, That you're good and your love is great, I'm broken inside, I give you my life.

We sometimes need to surrender and let God give us what we need and trust what He says to us and go where He leads. When we go where He leads, whether it be involved in different ministries or helping in our church, we know that we are obeying what He wants for us.

Which brings me to the next song called Trust And Obey.

The lyrics of this song says: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey, Trust and obey, for there's no other way, To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies, But His smile quickly drives it away, Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey, Oh, Trust and obey, for there's no other way, To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey, Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet, Or we'll walk by His side in the way

What He says we will do, where He sends we will go, Never fear, only trust and obey, Trust and obey, for there's no other way, To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

I want to share some quotes with all of you. The first quote I would like to share says: The more you believe and trust God, the more limitless your possibilities become for your family, your career- for your life!

God isn't asking you to figure it out. He's asking you to trust that He already has.

God has perfect timing Trust Him.

When we look at these quotes we see how God is still working in our life to show us things He has planned.

Here are the last two things I would like to end on.

The first thing I would like to share are lyrics of a song that say: You call me out upon the waters, The great unknown where feet may fail, And there I find You in the mystery

In oceans deep my faith will stand, And I will call upon Your Name, And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise, My soul will rest in Your embrace

For I am Yours and You are mine, Your grace abounds in deepest waters, Your sovereign hand will be my guide

Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me, You've never failed and You won't start now, So I will call upon Your Name, And keep my eyes above the waves, When oceans rise, My soul will rest in Your embrace, For I am Yours and You are mine, oh, And You are mine, oh, Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, Let me walk upon the waters, Wherever You would call me, Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, And my faith will be made stronger, In the presence of my Saviour

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, Let me walk upon the waters, Wherever You would call me

Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, And my faith will be made stronger, In the presence of my Saviour

The last thing I would like to end on is a quote that says: Never Be Afraid To Trust An Unknown Future to a known God.
