The Trust Test // Unfinished: Life of Abraham - Week 2 Northplace Church Podcast
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Abraham shows us how to trust profoundly and doubt with honesty. Trust is not the absence of doubt; it’s obeying God in the face of your uncertainties.
And we’ll see from Abraham’s life, how God welcomes and embraces the doubter all while addressing their doubts. It’s titled: The Place of Doubt in Learning to Trust.
There’s a big difference between believing and trusting. You can believe in something but not be ready to put your full weight on it. You subconsciously think it is “belief-worthy,” but not trustworthy. That’s the way too many people approach their relationship with God; they believe in God, but they don’t trust him.
Be careful; there’s a lot of preachers out there selling the benefits of walking with God. He will protect. He will provide for you. He will promote you. And the crowds are cheering: We
believe! We believe! But those blessings don’t come through your belief. Those kinds of covenant blessings come through your trust.
