Four gathered for some 3rd F discussion on trust.
Who do you trust? We began by recounting the story in Genesis 22 of Abraham and Isaac. YHC asked how old everyone thought Isaac was when Abraham was about to sacrifice him. DTH said 7, Gypsy said 37, and YHC was thinking more like 18. In any case, Isaac was old enough to know what was going on and yet he fully trusted his father. Jesus does the same in the Garden of Gethsemane in Matthew 26.
Is anyone having trouble fully trusting God and what exactly does it mean to trust God? YHC’s interpretation is that no matter what happens in your life (not matter how good or how bad things are), you continue to turn to God in prayer…you just keep praying.
Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart on your own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.
Psalm 46:11 – Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on earth.
Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Joshua 1:9 – I command you: be firm and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord, your God, is with you wherever you go.
Mark 5:36 – Do not be afraid; just have faith.
