Play with me if you will. Does the Old Testament Book of Proverbs chapter 3 beginning verse 5?
the cell phone will pick it up automatically, but will be addressing verses 5 and 6 and I mess this morning Proverbs chapter 3 verse 5 & 6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge. Him and He Shall direct your path. Previous me this morning, this text with this thought in mind trusting God to see us through trusting God to see let's pray Our Father in heaven. We thank you. Once again for the privilege and opportunity are standing before these are people and low we pray now that the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts will be acceptable in thy sight. Oh Lord, I strengthen Our Redeemer. Let the redeemed of the Lord say Amen.
I don't know if you've been to a circus recently. By river going to the circus circus as a young child. I was amazed by all the great acts and events that were displayed.
My favorite was the trapeze artist. I guess it amazes me the most because I've always been afraid of heights. And so I was amazed by the skills of the proposed with display as they swing. How about the Graham perform somersaults and kiss one another in midair the confidence that they displayed high above the ground with no Nets always amazed me and the key Was their face in their training their face and the train.
Trapeze artist in the circus with training rehearsed with each other until all the rooms were totally in sync but it's the Moment of Truth. They still would have to trust each other when one alphabet is somersaulting through the air. She can only catch is you flip over and over and over and I trust tells us that he sees her all the time and that you will be at the right place at the right time to catch her when she gets there. And so she lets go and flips over and over and they one reason why release when a product product grabs her and completes the app When you think about it, that's the exact situation that we go through this life. We can talk about God we can read about God we can sit about that. But there Comes A Time and all my lights with all we can do is trust God. I trust that he will be there when we need it.
To be what we need him when we need to trust that. He'll be there to catch us who we need them to catch us will be there. Not 99% but 100% every time we need him now that's called face that is called faith and fish. We caught that we let go of what are we hold on to for support and trust God to CS2? I know that's easier said than done. Your walk with God will be deep or shallow, depending on whether you learn to trust God or not. I walk with God is a majority of trust. Because God Alone knows the destination of Our Lives. We must trust him to guide us as we make the journey. What does it really mean to trust God and how do we go about doing that or the answers in the text? So let's turn to the checks to discover the implications of trusting God. Look at the text again verse 5 says trust in the Lord with all your heart.
Because God Alone knows the destination of Our Lives. We must trust him with our whole heart. We must trust him with the help with our whole heart. We must learn to trust God with the whole thing. So often we say that we trust God but we betrayal lack of our lack of faith by holy on reserve a plan that we will put in place if that doesn't come through for us.
That shows us that our trust is not too we hold onto just enough doubt to make a face Nolan boy. Just enough doubt to make a face Nolan for it. Trusting God with the whole heart means that we come to the realization that have God doesn't that if God does not stepped in we will not make it. No, that does not mean that we sit and wait for God to step in with a miraculous act before we stepped forward to do anyting. No, it means that we would do the things that God has told us to do. Where do the things that God has given us a capacity to do do the things that God has commanded us to do and then we trust that God would do that was he alone can do? We trusted amazing. We all sit around waiting for a miracle to happen before we go to work and also means that we don't stop working just because we realize this is going to take a miracle for the work you completed. It means that we Supply the work and we trust that God will supply the Miracle at the time when only a miracle will suffice. For example, The Story of Lazarus in the Gospel of John chapter 11, the brother of Mary and Martha and this is a family that the Bible says that Jesus loved. 11. One day and Jesus comes four days later to the gravesite four days late or so. It seems Martha said to him Lord. If you'd only been here, my brother would not have died. Reply to Martha. It's one of the greatest statements of comfort that we find all scripture. He said that Martha Inn in John 11:25. Jesus said to her Direction and the life he who believes in me though. He may die. He shall live and whoever lives and Believes In Me shall never die. Do you believe this? the Lord Ask her where they had laser. Emily Let Jesus to Lazarus tomb he gave two commands to illustrate the point that I want to make when you got to the tomb he said to the man standing near take away the stone. And then to the man in the Tomb Lazarus, he said Lazarus come forth and Lazarus came out of the Grave still wrapped in burial cloth.
Think about that just before more the greatest Miracles ever recorded the scripture. He brought a man back to life. We've been there for four days. That was certainly a supernatural act that was certainly of the split of the omnipotence of God.
My question is is Jesus was about to perform such an astounding act as raising a man from the dead don't need to tell the men at the tomb to roll away the stone. Where did you just speak to the store and have it move it self like you do to the wind and do the Waze on the seat where you speak to have to just disintegrate into powder. The answer is God expect us to do those things which is giving us the power to do and expect us to trust him for those things that he alone can do. Miller put the stone there men could take away only God can raise the Dead. And that means that that's what it means to trust in God with all your heart. It means that you into a partnership with God. It means that you're facing care about that which God has told wall all around realize that God's going to step into some ways to make things work out and you're trusting that he will do just that. Because Bob long was the destination of allies. We must trust him with our whole heart. What does a faucet a facet of human nature that makes trusting God difficult for us? Even though we know that we should bring logic sometimes tries to supplant. What's a text again? It says in verse 5 trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Because that alone know the test the destination of Our Lives we must trust him above human logic. We must trust him above human logic. So often willing to trust God only if we don't have a better plan willing to trust him if we don't have a better plan if we have a plan figured out already. We don't want to hear God's plans. Not really and that's human nature. But since human nature is distorted by saying we should not trust him a reason reasoning over God's instructions and fair housing in mankind. First showed up. God has said don't eat from that tree, or you will die. What is understanding told her that the tree at fruit which was good for food, the tree was beautiful to look at and it's truth will make you wise. She had three reasons to eat against God's one little tiny command. Shall not but that was a trap. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Nature being what it is if we can see a way through a situation on our own we don't even bother ask God if this is the way we should go. We just know we just reminds us that if we can see a thing is not faith. Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen that wants to take us places that we have not yet seen the use of the way that we have not even considered to go to those places and to do those things. We we must have things the Bible says also in 1st Corinthians 2:9. I have not seen nor ear heard the adventures of hyperman the things that God has prepared for those who love him. You will never accomplish the purpose that God has for your life. If you only attempt to do those things that you can see through your own understanding.
Let me say it again. You will never accomplish the purpose that God has for you. Like if you only attempted to do those things that you can see through your own understanding you never achieved this way because there is no way that you can proceed what God has planned for you. You have to trust him. You have to trust it. Not not that does not mean that we should not use mine to the understanding understanding for purpose. What it does mean is that Facebook has to go beyond our understanding of the trust God those things which we cannot understand. That's not easy. But that's what God requires of us. Sometimes trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Do you realize? The guy who's all areas of our life under his care to him first before we go on with the plan of God.
It says trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him.
Because God Alone. Know the destination of Our Lives we must trust him in all areas of our life in all areas of my life. Tristan forget God to a Sunday only relationship. In other words, I listen to you two stories about God on Sunday, but tomorrow morning. I have to go back to work in the real world. How can God help me there? I'm glad you asked the guy that we preach about here on Sunday morning is the gospel real world. He created this world and everything in it. He created the universe and all this within them and read the Bible says that everything that was this is real was created by God in the beginning was the word and the Word was With God all things were made through him and brought him with nothing was made that was made in him was life in the life of the right of me God the son Jesus Christ trusting God in all areas of our life means that we need to seek God's guidance on everything that we undertake to do. Is it just in US is not restricted to just Sunday mornings? In fact, it feels except what Romans 8:28 teaches us. We know that God is absolutely at work on our behalf in everything that occurs in the passage purposes for us were predetermined before we were born and he works all things out for good if we have children if we are his children. Who was everything everything out for our good if we walk a billy as his children? This was the scripture says Romans 8:28 says and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are the called according to his purpose in the Rizzo texted. This is all things work out. He said God works all things out for a good those who are called to his purpose. So we need to stop and give God the credit for the good that happens in our lives inside to thank God for working out the bad things. So that end up working out for our good. Anything and everything that happened to us as far as good. But the promise of God is that he is able to work bad things outside good if we would just trust him. It may not seem like a good as first and maybe a long time but we may even ask. Where are you Lord? What are you doing with me Lord, but we just learn to trust him if you trust him, but I will show you that he was with you all the way working things out for you good just good looks command and a promise for successful living that we need to live in our hearts and in our minds. The command this seek God first seek God first in the promises that if he do that he would take care of everything else Matthew 6:33 says God first, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Internet back to Proverbs in all your ways acknowledge Him. Look to God when You Face a decision on your job that requires you to choose between Integrity or promotion, Gabba Gabba. In all your ways acknowledge Him. Look at that when you face a dilemma in your marriage that cause you to question the commitment that you made at the altar. Talk to God about it. octagon bar in all your ways acknowledge Him. Look at that when you fishing report from your doctor that has you worried. Talk to Dad about it. Talk to me in all your ways acknowledge Him. Look at god with an opportunity that you've been waiting for all your life comes your way. put on top of God's reloaded this what you have planned for my life talk to God about Doesn't seem to know where you hear the same message over and over again about trusting God. Will you look in the Old Testament and New brother to Jesus? Love John and Paul Asylum the message is if you trust God he will see you through. Where's the scripture one more time? Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge. Him and He Shall direct your path. Because God know the destination of Our Lives we must trust him to direct us along the right path. We must trust God to the rectus law on the right path because only he knows where we supposed to end up. When God directs our path we want you to waste my lies on meaningless things things like power and Prestige and position. We will do that when God directs our path more than neglect the internal pursuing the temporary things like riches and fame and glamour. When God directs our path, we won't stop freaking forfeit the prices and hold on to the worthless. We'll spend our last riches and leave me real Treasures behind. I'm going to do that when God directs our path. We begin to see that the only way to have true riches into the best allies in the pursuit of helping others. Direction he will live as long as I passed and we will be blessed for that is the only way to obtain tuition to riches. You asked how do I know that investing in others brings Heavens riches? Will just look at Jesus look at how you died and humiliation naked on the cross without a cent to his name. They even had to bury him in a bar grave. He died promise. He died of the poorest man in the Roman Empire.
But he rolls as the ruler of the universe he got about that grave declaring that all power in heaven and on Earth was in his hands. He died in disgrace. What are your roles in glory?
God restored him to him all glory and power because he had invested in this Earthly life in the well-being of mankind and because he was worthy of all honor and praise. Investors Earthly life in the well-being of others. He healed the sick. He fed the hungry. He raised the dead he gave his life to purchase a Salvation of multitude before and after him and because he did that God exalted his name. I know there's to be called the scripture tells me is Bolivia's two and nine that therefore God also hard exalted him and has given him the name that is above every name but the name of Jesus every knee shall bow our bows and have a bowl of the earth and those under the Earth and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. God exalt the name of Jesus and every tongue will confess his lordship one day every person will confess that Jesus is Lord. Every Catholic will confess that Jesus is Lord. Every Mouzon will confess that Jesus is Lord. Every you every Hindu ever create this book of fast that Jesus Christ is Lord. Jesus came to this earth and work work perfectly along the path that off him by his Heavenly Father. What is a walk at same pants? Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge. Him and He Shall direct your path.
We are facing difficult situations in this life. That is part of life. We Face difficulty as individuals and as God's Church. But we already have the solution to overcome them. Just like a nearby theater in the days of old. We going to pray to God and then go to work and trust that God will see us through. We have a challenge. To establish the Church of God's church as a vehicle that God can use for building up his kingdom. The weather radar for purposes that he has in his church and will charge me carry out the laws purposes and doing the things that he has called us to do. So how we going to carry the loss purposes with so many people are either a pathetic or hostile to the word of God? I'm going to accomplish the ministry to which we've been called. Women call to discipleship Ministry in the church where the word of God is talk and where the people of got to grow spiritually. How you going to get that done. What we going to kneel down in prayer, we got to give ourselves to the work and we're going to trust that. God will see us through. We have been called to a worship Ministry in the church where the word of God is Christian such a way that people leave here looking to tell somebody else about the word that they have her. I was going to get that job done with color kneel down in prayer who got to give ourselves over to the work and we're going to trust that. God will see us too. What do they give it to a culture Fellowship Ministry in this church for the people of God can share each other's burdens and George and what God can be glorified is people. I'm going to get that job done. We going to kneel down and pray are we going to give ourselves to the work? I'm going to trust that God will see us to we've been called to the best realistic mystery in the church where the guy goes off on this place and Richard. I'm sorry to know. I'm church I was going to get that job done. We're going to kneel down and pray her when I get myself into work and going to trust that. God will see us to give me a call to a missionary Ministry in the church for the love of God is taking outside the church and spread the ball to the saved and unsaved the like, how do I get that job. Are we going to give ourselves over to the word and we'll go to trust that God will see us through. Yeah, yeah, the doors were facing problems and obstacles if you continue this journey of life look like but we do know what to do about them when trouble confronts us. We need to kneel down in prayer and ask God what to do and then give us something to the work that God lays before us and trust that God will see us through. That's what I'm going to do. What about you? What about you?
Let's saying is the choir come deleted some song.
