Trust In God

Joshua 1:9 NIV

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Intro

I want to talk about trusting in God.

One time the disciples were scared thru a storm and Jesus woke up and said “men of little faith” because they were scared.

Today I want to talk about 3 people who had big faith.

Joshua

The Angel of the Lord

Take your sandals off

March around the city

Feet hurt...... ouch

Walls fall

Joshua 6:16 NIV

16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!

Joshua 6:20 NIV

20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.

Rahab the great 31

David

Everyone is afraid of Goliath

David is not afraid

You come at me.... I come in GOD

1 Samuel 17:45–46 NIV

45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

Gideon

Man of valor

Judges 6:11–12 NIV

11 The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”

Scream like girl.....LOL

Wet wool

300 Men

Judges 7:7 NIV

7 The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the others go home.”

Conclusion

Like Josh David and Gideon you too will win your battle if you trust in GOD. God bless you.
