In today's podcast, we're going deeper into the place of trust, seeking to open up more of our hearts to our good and loving Father, so we can experience more of His promises moment by moment.

Without trust, we'll miss out on so many of the gifts God wants to give us every day. Without trust, our hearts will be closed off to the fullness of what this life has to offer us.

May we, as God's children, trust Him more fully today in response to His trustworthiness.

Welcome to the First 15 Podcast.

The Bible constantly gives us an image to visualize when thinking about the character of God.

Psalm 182 says,

I love how the Lord chooses to use creation to tell us of the invisible attributes of His nature.

To our eyes, rocks are unchanging, steady and stable. Generations of men come and go, but rocks stay visually the same.

Although it is with our God, 1 Kings 8.56 says, Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised.

Not one word has failed of all His good promise, which He spoke by Moses, His servant.

The promises of God are sure. They are even more immovable than the strongest mountains.

They are more steadfast than the very ground you walk on. You can place your trust in God and believe He'll follow through on His promises.

In fact, experiencing His promises to the extent God extends for you requires trust.

Isaiah 263 and 4 says, You keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you because He trust in you.

Trust in the Lord forever for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

Through Scripture, God leads His people to peace. He's promised peace to us as His children, but Isaiah 26 tells us of an incredibly important concept.

Those who will be kept in perfect peace are those whose mind is stayed on God, and a mind can only be stayed on God because He trust in Him.

Experiencing the fullness of God's promises requires our steadfast trust.

For example, Philippians 4.19 says, My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory and Christ Jesus.

God promises to supply every need of yours. His promise is sure, but experiencing the peace His promise of provision is meant to supply requires trusting in His Word.

He will provide for your needs regardless of your trust, but you won't be able to experience the peace God longs to give you if you're constantly worried about whether or not you'll be provided for.

The commonly quoted promise of Jeremiah 29.11 says, For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans for welfare and not for evil to give you a future and a hope.
