Summary
As we have learned this week, our God is fully trustworthy. Placing our trust in his hands is the wisest thing we could ever do. As we finish up our week on trust today, we’ll explore how trust plays a role in our sanctification and maturing as believers. As we commit to walk with and trust the Lord, may he bring forth a harvest of righteousness in our lives.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 37:5-6, and today's worship is New by Craig and Rachel Denison.
Last week, we announced a really exciting new project we’re hoping to launch January 1st, called Primeros15. For the first time we’ll be offering our daily devotional for Spanish speaking believers in their original language. If God is stirring your heart to give First15 to another believer just like you, you can do so here.
First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison. If you would like to learn more about the First15 app, books, blogs, videos and our other resources, please visit first15.org. You can always reach out to us on our contact page on the website. And, if you feel called to support First15 financially, you may give here.

| 0:00.0 | As we've learned this week, our God is fully trustworthy. Placing our trust in his hands is the wisest thing we could ever do. As we finish up our week on trust today, |
| 0:15.5 | we'll explore how trust plays a role in our sanctification and maturing as |
| 0:20.4 | believers. As we commit to walk with and trust the Lord, may he bring forth the harvest of |
| 0:26.6 | righteousness in our lives. Welcome to the First of Team podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Psalm 37 verses 5 through 6. |
| 0:52.4 | Scripture says, |
| 0:54.0 | commit your way to the Lord, trust in him, |
| 0:57.2 | and he will act. |
| 0:59.1 | He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day. |
| 1:08.6 | Sanctification and holiness are words that used to strike terror into my heart. |
| 1:14.0 | As a believer, I've always tried to pursue holiness, |
| 1:18.0 | and I always seem to fail. |
| 1:20.0 | It seems like no matter what I do, I can't escape sin and can't get past my own brokenness and miss |
| 1:28.4 | Even in seasons where I'm experiencing freedom from some sins |
| 1:32.1 | There always seem to be something else I need to fix experiencing freedom from some sins. |

| 1:37.6 | I felt like I was on this endless tightrope of spiritual development that I kept falling |
| 1:42.1 | off of, and of which I couldn't seem to find the end. |
| 1:47.0 | While God's heart is most definitely for our sanctification and holiness, |
| 1:52.0 | his perspective is far different from what I just described. |
| 1:56.8 | You see, God knows that sanctification doesn't come about through our own efforts. |
| 2:06.4 | I can in no way sanctify myself because in and of myself I have no holiness. The truth God is for us today is simply this. |
