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. Today's worship is New by Craig and Rachel Denison.

A First15 reader, Kim, recently shared with us, “Thank you for this blessing. It is like a balm to my soul. You are bringing the love of Christ to me.”

When you help reach the $216,584 Summer Initiative goal, you’ll be a part of connecting more people like Kim with God.

If you haven’t given yet — or you’re led to give again — please do so today.

1:11.7	off of and of which I couldn't seem to find the end.
