Title: The Straight Path (Trust)
Introduction:
Last time I talked about how God has a purpose in the storm for those who love Him and everything is used for your good.
When things are not going well just remember God is building you and giving you new tools and making you more like Him.
Now that we understand God is in control how can you trust God in the storm and all times.
It is not enough to tell your self God gots this, God gots this, God gots this, oh nooooo.
It is spiritual just not talk.
Introduction:
Lets read:
Scripture:
Scripture:
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.
These scriptures are an invitation for us to take our whole life into the kingdom of God and learn how to live the life God has given us in power with Him fighting our battles.
We see here we are commanded to trust in the Lord with our whole heart!
This doesn’t mean or just mean:
I am saved from eternal damnation and separation from God
That Jesus is Lord
Jesus was perfect
He rose on the third day for our salvation
No, this means a whole lot more.
The thing I listed above are what we must believe when we put our faith in God.
Trust is different.
Here let me show you how this works.
Go from having faith to trust to having a full blown relationship with Christ.
Steps:
Faith (noun) Drawn by the Holy Spirit
Comes first - confident belief that God is the sovereign Creator of all things and that He can and will do what He Claims
Trust ( verb,do or act) Comes second - trust is never guaranteed; a willful choice and can only grow out of faith
Definition of Trust: 1 a : firm belief in the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something b : a person or thing in which confidence is placed.
2 a : confident hope
Supernatural, fulfilling Relationship with God
Living Righteous Ethically / your character (not relationally - legal standing with God - Righteousness so no one can boast, Born into Adam so we are seen as sinners until we accept Christ)
Right Standing with God
18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.
I am reminded of a story that helps illustrates the difference between faith and trust.
Story:
Story:
Boldin tight rope walker and manager Harry Colcord.
He told Colcord you are no longer Colcord you are Boldin, you are a part of me, mind, body and soul, If I sway, sway with me.
Do not attempt to do any balancing on yourself.
God is on the tight rope doing things we can not do he is doing spectacular things.
Spectators had faith but Colcord trusted
Trust:
Trust:
Question to audience: You have faith but do you trust Him?
God handling all the challenges and the worries of life.
He is the one doing the flips on the tight rope, he is the one doing the balancing, helping us along the straight path.
God is out on that tight rope, that is His straight path.
Feet in Sand - We always see the feet in the sand picture where it goes from two sets of prints to one set.
And the guy ask why is there only one set and Jesus responds because I am caring you through.
However, I would say being a Christian is really not a walk on the beach it is more of walking over Niagra falls on a tight rope that is swaying in gusting winds and people watching on to see if you fail.
The path is narrow the lord says not wide.
See friends it is crucial we understand this concept of trust not only for our salvation but so God can get to know us!
See, as I was studding about what comes from trusting God trying to understand I was seeing things like:
Joy
Strength
the super natural
witnessing
All these things are great but I felt like there was something even deeper that the Lord wanted to get across to us.
God answered with “So I can have a relationship with you” Right after this I felt this over whelming love come all over me and started to understand HOW MUCH God wants to know us!.
Of course there are a lot of perks but the greatest is fellowship with our best friend and savior that knew us before we were even born.
but I believe it is more of a tight rope that we do not have to worry about falling because we are on God's back.
carry you across the tight rope as it sways and jerks.
All the while he is doing tricks and things we could not even imagine.
Goal: Relationship
Goal:
So I asked God what is the point of Trust?????
God answered with “So I can have a relationship with you” Right after this I felt this over whelming love come all over me and started to understand HOW MUCH God wants to know you and me!.
Of course there are a lot of perks but the greatest is fellowship with our best friend and savior that knew us before we were even born.
Cost: Cost is too great not to trust Him.
Do not stop short of blessing the person that gave it all for you.
He wants a relationship and yes He will truly carry you above the raging waters as the tight rope sways and jerks.
All the while he is doing tricks and things we could not even imagine.
All eyes and pressure will be on Him not you.
My explanation - I see all these things that people are saying comes when we trust you.
I said what do you say?
God said " I get to have a relationship with you" then I felt this over whelming love come over me.
carry you across the tight rope as it sways and jerks.
All the while he is doing tricks and things we could not even imagine.
WE all DESIRE something more in relationships that is our human nature and something God put in us so we would be drawn to HIM.
What do we look for in a relationship/marriage?
Marriage
to be Known
Accepted for who we are
not to be alone
someone to share life with
life is more meaningful when we get to share it with someone else
someone to make memories with
someone to hold
