Trusting God

Things Unseen

"...look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18) All we can see around us will pass way - these bodies, our stuff, our careers. Let's focus on the things that really matter...a perspective we can only get by focusing on the Lord and His Word. There's much we don't understand now, but one day it will all come clear!

Finding God's Promise

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28 I started this book because I wanted to learn how to live every day in that verse. I believe God's promises are true, so why do I continue living stressed out and overwhelmed?

Prosperity

It is very easy to begin relying on our earthly blessings when we have them...and really hard to let them go if it comes to it. But if the Lord asks us to give something up (as He did the rich young ruler), it's always because He knows we are trusting in something that will not satisfy. He isn't trying to be cruel and take away the things we love. He's trying to give us the ability to completely trust in Him - the only thing that will never disappoint! Everything in this life fades away. Hold it all loosely, and trust Him whether it is in the "giving or the taking away." (Job 1:21)

Fear

"Perfect love casts out fear." 1 John 4:18 So many of us live in fear of all the dangers and evils around us. But we don't have to! In this episode, we follow David as he triumphs over fear to defeat Goliath even though he seems to be severely outmatched. God is never outmatched!

Worry

Worry has us "fretting" though we are commanded to "fret not." The Lord knows and has told us not to be anxious even about what we should eat or drink or wear - our most basic needs. We waste years being anxious about these things and more. Like the disciples in the boat when the storm came, we ask, "God, do you even care?" But He is always there and knows just when His hand is needed. Never despair in the midst of trouble, but take it to the Lord!
