In the fifth sermon of the series, we explore the challenge of trusting God when His plan isn’t clear or aligns differently from our own expectations. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-6 and Isaiah 55:8-9, we emphasize that God’s ways and timing are higher than ours, and trusting Him requires faith beyond understanding.
