Hasn't God Earned Your Trust?

Good Morning!! Led by Moses and pursued by Pharaoh's army, the Israelites came to the Red Sea. With no apparent way of escape, the people became afraid, and began to voice those fears. But God, had a plan, and was not going to forsake them. HE wanted them to trust and believe that He not only could, but would deliver them. This was only one of many miracles that God would perform for the Israelites. Trust comes from consistence.

Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today."—Exodus 14:13 (NRSV)

Today these truths still apply. God does not want us to be a fearful and fumbling people. God can make a way when there is no way. No matter what our circumstances, we can trust, that nothing is to hard for our God.

Whatever we face, we can trust that God will not leave us to face it alone.

Father God, help us not to be paralyzed with fear, but rather to be propelled by deep faith, and trust in You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

"Sin magnifies fear, and Obedience increases faith,
...it's really just that simple."
