Summary
As we begin to wrap up our week on trust, today we’ll look at the idea of trusting God for provision. May we find rest and peace today as we remind ourselves of our infinite Father’s ability to provide each and every need—big or small. There is rest available for God’s children today in the place of toil and striving. Your good Father wants to assure you of that today.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 37:25-26, and today's worship is Do it Again by Elevation Worship.

We just launched Vol. 7 of our First15 Devotional Series, Trust. And I couldn’t be more excited!
Trust is one of the devotional books I’ve been most anticipating, because of how critical trust is to our ability to thrive in and out of life’s difficult seasons.
This year has been arguably the hardest year we’ve faced globally in a generation. The pandemic has quickly taken its toll in every corner of our society, and every corner of the human heart. And the effects of systematic racism, and our lack of true racial reconciliation across the U.S. and beyond has brought us face to face with the mountain of division we’ve yet to overcome.
Personally, when life is good I find it easy to trust God, to be grateful for the ways he’s providing for me. But when my circumstances get hard, I find myself taking my life back in my control, and suffering as a result.
In Scripture, so many of God’s promises of peace, of provision, of safety are linked to our trust. Trust is like the “yes” that empowers God to move in deeper and more profound ways in and through us.
So I want to sincerely encourage you to get Trust today, to immerse yourself in this 5-week guide that will help you genuinely and wholeheartedly trust God. Because when you give God your trust, you’ll find an abundant peace and life that can carry you with unshakable joy through even life’s hardest challenges.

| 0:45.0 | There are so many stories of God breaking through when his people needed |
| 0:49.6 | him. We have a good Father who longs for his children to experience the peace |
| 0:54.4 | and joy that comes from trusting in his desire to provide. The famous Psalm 23 |
| 1:01.3 | begins in a way that perfectly illustrates the heart of one who trust in God. |
| 1:06.4 | Psalm 231 says, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Let those words sink in |
| 1:14.4 | for a second. What would it be like to go through life with a peace and security |
| 1:19.7 | that comes from wholeheartedly believing you shall not want? How would you |

| 1:32.4 | Abundant peace and security is available for you if you will trust in your |
