#. *I see it as the highest level of faith*

#. *once we are steadfast in faith, we begin to "believe" that God is going to do what we have petitioned him for*

#. *But, there comes a time when you begin to "trust" God and actually KNOW that He's going to work things out for you.*

These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

God said that if the children of Israel: 

 

But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:  Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

 

All these curses, including:

And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou *trustedst*, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

*Introduction~/Porch*

As we journey in life we develop trust in some many things or people other than God.

As a child, our first instinct is to trust our mother.

Our mother is the first person we hear and feel since our inception and while she nurtures us in the womb of her belly.

We can hear the rhythmic palpations of her heart as it drives the fluid of life into our developing bodies.

We can hear the soothing sounds of her voice as she talks to other and her unborn child in her.

After birth, we start develop trust for our fathers, brother, sisters, grandparent, and other family members and friends.

As we journey in life our people may loose our trust or gain our trust.

During our lives we have put our trust in some many things, such as.

o   Parents
