Summary

While the enemy attempts to divert our attention onto our circumstances, God places promises and provisions next to every problem we encounter. God gives us promises because they are relational, not circumstantial, and our trust in Him is always required.

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 11:28. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Exodus 14:15-16. The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.

As always, thanks for listening!

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. I'm your host, Jalen Bowden, here
0:07.4	with you for another episode of Learning Powered by the Heart. This month we've been learning
0:13.5	all about expectation and what it means to have a confident assurance in God's promises.
0:20.8	A huge part of that process is understanding what God is really, truly like. And when
0:26.9	we can receive his deep love and affection for us, that's when we begin to see our situations
0:32.7	through his eyes. And hey, today's clip comes directly from one of our mentoring series
0:38.3	on BrilliantTV.com, which is our online community designed to help you learn how to apply
0:43.7	the kingdom way of life to your everyday circumstances. Now, without further ado, let's jump in with
0:50.8	Graham Cook. I think I love about the Lord is everything he does is totally intentional.
1:01.5	So like, he would definitely put a promise next to a problem. He would definitely make
1:08.1	sure that every problem came with its own provision attached, because that's how he
1:13.2	thinks. And so it's logical, therefore, for us to assume that he always speaks promises
1:21.1	into our places of uncertainty. He knows who you are, he knows your frame, he knows what
1:27.8	you're going through, he knows what you're facing, he knows what's tough for you right now.
1:32.7	And he always puts, he always puts blessing next to a crisis. He always puts promises
1:41.3	in your places of uncertainty, because he speaks to those places, because he always wants
1:47.6	to raise the low places up to a higher place of faith, of love, experience, encounter.
1:57.4	He's always willing to provide us with something to create trust and stimulate faith in him.
2:06.7	When you're following a promise, though, you can't dictate how it will be fulfilled.
2:13.7	You can't advance the timing on some things. You can only continually respond to the one
2:21.6	who made it. And I think the best responses be it unto me according to your word. It's
2:30.7	a great confession, because it kick starts the process of trusting who God is.
