"I Will Trust You"

Speaker: Marla Crisman

When we get stuff on sale, we get more than what we paid for. Right?

Well we need to stop giving God less than what He paid for. We can do this by being faithful to God.

How do we live a life of faithfulness? Trust God.

But who keeps us from trusting God? Ourselves. 

If we look at our lives, we can all pinpoint a few things that aren’t going quite right, and those are the areas where we are not trusting God. 

Trusting God is quite simple, but it isn’t always easy. 

We have no reason to trust God, because He is always faithful! 

God’s power is much bigger and better than our own! We will never be perfectly faithful, but God always is. 

And even when we aren’t faithful, God always provides. 

When we don't trust God, are we telling Him that He is not worthy of our trust? 

So how exactly do we trust God?

1. Seek Him
1. In order to seek God, we must be in His Word, and we must live up to what we know and learn from it
2. When you fail, repent
1. Do not just repent with your words. You must truly change your actions in order to completely repent from your wrongdoings. 
3. Put your love, energy, passion, and care into your relationship with God
1. If you do not, your relationship with God will not nurture and it will not grow, and neither will any other relationship. 
4. Focus
1. When we are solely focused on God, we can better trust Him. 

Trusting God can be really scary, because it means letting go of the control-something that we love to have. We must look at our lives and ask, “Where am I not trusting God?”
