3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Ive been blessed to be a christian these past 36 years.
I’ve learned so much and am still learning.
But the one thing that i know for sure, The one thing that i settled a long time ago….. I’m very limited…..
Fret not, in v1 means don’t get overheated or too worked up
how do we fret not, cool down, calm down?

*** I Have Limited Understanding — My perspective is incomplete,
4 He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.
The truth is that to solve a problem i have to have a certain amount of information.
When i was in engineering School we did a lot of math, lot of formulas. to solve these engineering equations you have to have at least “x” amount of information. if you don’t, you cant find the answer no matter how intelligent that you are.
We don’t have enough information in our life on earth. We may think we know, we may believe in our heart that we know whats going on, that we know what best, but we don’t …..
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.
So…… I TRUST IN GOD!!
*** I Have Limited Wisdom — God’s perspective is perfect
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
I TRUST THE LORD!
What could be more comforting to the Christian than to know that the outcome of his life is not in the hands of chance circumstances, but is in the hands of a benevolent God?
R. C. Sproul
The world believes that all you need to do is to carefully plan his life, and it will be full and fruitful.
Certainly, it is wonderful to have plans, to have parents who look ahead and make provisions for our future.
But, as the Bible says in
O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
The Bible teaches that God guides the steps of His children who seek His direction.
We should always seek divine direction.
1. I TRUST GOD BECAUSE GOD SEES ALL
Our vision is limited.
We do not know what may be hiding around the corner.
But…
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him….
But, God even knows the number of hairs on our heads
“But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
Not even one sparrow falls to the ground that God does not know about.
Our God, who sees everything at once, will guide our lives for us, as well.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.
I trust God because He not only sees all…
2. I TRUST GOD BECAUSE GOD KNOWS ALL
When we commit our lives to the Lord and daily seek His divine direction, then we may be sure that everything in our pathway is working together for our good.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
There are two great certainties about things that shall come to pass— one is that God knows, and the other is that we do not know
God’s Will About The Future, Volume 38, Sermon #2242 - James 4:13-17
Charles Spurgeon
There will be many things in our life span that we do not understand because our knowledge Is limited, but God knows best.
George Müller (1805-1898)
Christian Missionary/ Evangelist
was a Christian missionary evangelist and a coordinator of orphanages in Bristol, England. Through his faith and prayers (and without asking for money) he had the privilege of caring for over 120,000 orphan children. He also traveled over 200,000 miles (by ship) to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in 42 countries and to challenge believers about world missions and trusting God. In his journals, Müller recorded miracle-after-miracle of God’s provision and answered prayer:
One morning, all the plates and cups and bowls on the table were empty. There was no food in the larder and no money to buy food. The children were standing, waiting for their morning meal, when Müller said, “Children, you know we must be in time for school.” Then lifting up his hands he prayed, “Dear Father, we thank Thee for what Thou art going to give us to eat.”
There was a knock at the door. The baker stood there, and said, “Mr. Müller, I couldn’t sleep last night. Somehow I felt you didn’t have bread for breakfast, and the Lord wanted me to send you some. So I got up at 2 a.m. and baked some fresh bread, and have brought it.”
Mr. Müller thanked the baker, and no sooner had he left, when there was a second knock at the door. It was the milkman. He announced that his milk cart had broken down right in front of the orphanage, and he would like to give the children his cans of fresh milk so he could empty his wagon and repair it.
When we are at home with Him in heaven, we will look back on life. Then, with perfect knowledge, we will thank Him for everything that has happened to us.
ILLUSTRATION:.a missionary tells the story of a "A mother at a mission station died after giving birth to a premature baby. We tried to improvise an incubator to keep the infant alive, but the only hot water bottle we had was beyond repair. So we asked the children to pray for the baby and for her sister. One of the girls responded, ’Dear God, please send a hot water bottle today. Tomorrow will be too late because by then the baby will be dead. And dear Lord, send a doll for the sister so she won’t feel so lonely.’ That afternoon a large package arrived from England. The children watched eagerly as we opened it. Much to their surprise, under some clothing was a hot water bottle! Immediately the girl who had prayed so earnestly started to dig deeper, exclaiming, ’If God sent that, I’m sure He also sent a doll!’ And she was right! The heavenly Father knew in advance of that child’s sincere requests, and 5 months earlier He had led a ladies’ group to include both of those specific articles."
I trust God because He not only sees all, He knows all…
3. I TRUST GOD BECAUSE GOD HAS ALL POWER
We are only humans and, therefore, very limited in power.
There are powerful forces, both human and demonic, at work against mankind - - especially against those who are saved, have the mark of God upon them, and have committed our lives to God.
These evil forces would destroy us if we were without the protecting power of God and His promise that He will never leave us or forsake us (see Heb. 13:5).
God orders His children’s steps, and He always provides where He leads.
“God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible. What a pity that we plan only the things we can do by ourselves.”—A. W. Tozer
One New Year’s Day, in the Tournament of Roses parade, a beautiful float suddenly sputtered and quit. It was out of gas. The whole parade was held up until someone could get a can of gas. The amusing thing was this float represented the Standard Oil Company. With its vast oil resources, its truck was out of gas.
Even though Christians have access to God’s omnipotence, if we do not avail ourselves to it we will run out of power.
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without the wind, branches without sap, and like coals without fire, we are useless.”—Charles Spurgeon
Only God has the power to create a world from nothing, form man from clay and breath in him the breathe of life
Only God shut up heaven so it wouldn’t rain for 3 years and with one prayer God caused it to rain
Only God can cause the the Israelites to cross the Red Sea on dry ground
Only God can cause one angle to kill 185,000 enemy solders in a single night
Only God can cause time to stop for Joshua
Only God can cause time to go backwards for Hezekiah
Only God can live a sinless life, give himself as a sacrificial lamb for you and I
Only God can get up, 3 days after death has had his way
Only God can ascend to the right hand of God
Only God can save the most wretched amongst us
Why do I trust God...He sees all, He knows all, He has all power
