[00:00:02] Welcome to the Chroma Church podcast.
[00:00:07] Over the past few weeks, we've been looking at some of the heroes of the faith in the Old Testament.
[00:00:13] And tonight I want to talk about something which has been so significant in the story of each of those heroes, and that's trust.
[00:00:20] I'm going to look at Abraham a little bit tonight, but I really want to nail down this theme of trust.
[00:00:25] Now, trust is one of those words that for different people may bring up different kind of emotions. For some people it brings up that real feeling of security and excitement. But for others, if you've had bad experiences of trusting people, it can bring up that kind of fear of fear of people and pain.
[00:00:44] Now, when I think of trust, I actually think of that trust exercise. I don't know if they still do it, but you know, when you're like team building, it's like fall back and the person catches you.
[00:00:54] I don't have a great record with that.
[00:01:00] Oh yeah, there we go. I've tried that four times and I've been dropped twice.
[00:01:06] Now. I don't know whether that's just because people don't like me or maybe it's because I'm so skinny I just slip through their fingers when they're trying to catch me. But it's kind of a bit of an issue for me. But trust can be complicated, right? Especially today we when it's much easier to trust yourself than it is anybody else. I think over the last 30 years, if our culture had a slogan, it would be, I am a strong and independent human and I ain't in need of no God.
[00:01:32] And I think actually that's kind of been culture's slogan. I don't need God, I can trust myself, but it's just not true.
[00:01:41] Life quickly reminds us that we're not in control.
[00:01:45] You know, as a cost of living crisis rises, the costs rise. Uncertainty in our climate around war, the future feels fragile and to trust seems like a risky luxury almost.
[00:02:01] But as followers of Jesus, we're called not to trust in ourselves, but to trust in God.
[00:02:09] Some trust in chariots, some trust in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord, our God.
[00:02:15] Probably one of the most famous verses in the Bible, Proverbs 3, 5, 6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways. Acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
[00:02:30] See, part of our walk with Jesus is to lay down our self sufficiency and to begin to walk in faith instead to lay down our worries and instead to receive his peace.
[00:02:43] So when we look at these heroes of the faith, when we look at Noah, when we look at Samuel, when we look at Joseph, when we look at Gideon, we see that they didn't put their trust in themselves or their gifts or their own understanding or their own plans, but rather, they trusted in God and his plan for their life.
[00:03:00] And tonight I want to ask the question, what does that look like personally for us? Because it's really easy to look at these men and women who are full of faith and be like, wow, God, you did something amazing in them. But I'm me.
[00:03:14] But that isn't what it's supposed to be like.
[00:03:17] What does it look like for us to trust God?
[00:03:22] But first of all, what is trust? Well, for me, faith is believing, but trust is acting.
[00:03:32] The two are linked.
[00:03:34] What's the difference between faith and trust? Well, faith is a noun. Faith is something you have, but trust is a verb. It's an action. It's something you do.
[00:03:45] You can't trust without first having faith. But I can have faith, but then not use it and exercise it in trust.
[00:03:54] So here's an example. Okay?
[00:03:57] I might have faith that that chair there can hold my weight if I sit on it.
[00:04:02] But the only way that I can show that I have that faith is if I go over to it and sit on it.
[00:04:13] That's me trusting that the chair is going to carry my weight. Here's a big truss in my legs.
[00:04:23] See, if I didn't have faith that that chair could carry my weight, I wouldn't sit on it.
[00:04:28] But in order for me to show my faith, I have to trust that it will do it.
[00:04:35] Faith is believing, but trust is acting.
[00:04:40] And as I was preparing this, I remembered this story that I once been told about a man called Charles Blondin. And for those of you who don't know which is probably most of you, Charles blondin was a very famous tightrope walker back in the mid 19th century.
[00:04:55] He was the first man to walk a tightrope over the Niagara Falls.
[00:04:59] And this was back in 1850s.
[00:05:02] And in 1859, Blondin and his manager, a man named Harry Colcord, they basically set up this big event that he was going to walk across the Niagara Falls, 50 meters above it, the Niagara Falls, about 350 meters across. And he's going to walk across this tightrope. And as the day came, there were thousands of people in attendance coming to watch this.
[00:05:24] And people all stood around like, wow, let's see what he can do. And he started off just walking across the tightrope, you know, pretty impressive feat for most of us anyway, walking across the tightrope. But then each time he went across, he added in some kind of trick, so he'd walk backwards or he'd back flip his way across. In fact, at one point, he stopped in the middle, ate an omelette and then walked to the other side again. And as his performance came to a close, he walked across the Niagara falls and disappeared out of sight for a couple of minutes. And then when he reappeared, the whole crowd gasped because on his back was his manager, Harry Colcord.
[00:06:03] And as he walked across the Niagara falls, the story goes that he turned. Well, not literally turned, but spoke up to his manager and he said, listen to me. You are no longer Colcord.
[00:06:16] You are Blondin.
[00:06:17] When I sway, you sway with me.
[00:06:21] Do not try and do any of the balancing yourself.
[00:06:26] See, thousands of people watching had faith that blondin could walk across a tightrope.
[00:06:32] But only one person trusted him because they got on his back and they went across with him.
[00:06:39] See, trust is surrendering control and swaying when we need to sway.
[00:06:47] See, we can have faith that God can do incredible things, but do we trust him, that he will do them in our lives?
[00:06:54] I have faith that God can break through miraculously in people's financial situations, but in the moment where I need that breakthrough, do I trust that he will do it?
[00:07:04] I have faith that God can heal the sick, that God can do miraculous miracles, but do I trust him enough to actually go and do it for myself?
[00:07:13] See, trust is getting on the back. Trust is a verb. It's putting faith into action.
[00:07:22] And probably one of the greatest examples of this in the bible is Abraham. And we're going to read from Genesis 22. I am going to read quite a bit tonight because I want to honor the story, but I want to really quickly summarize the story so far. If you want to read the whole story, Abraham's story starts at Genesis 12, and you can read through to the end of his life. But he lived in a city called Ur.
[00:07:43] When God spoke to him and basically said, I want you to leave, leave Ur. But he didn't tell him where he was going to go. But Abraham has this incredible trust. And he's like, yeah, cool, I'm going to up six. I'm going to leave the place where all of my security, all of my identity is, and I'm going to go. I'm going to go wherever God tells me. And God speaks to Abraham and he promises him, that he will use him to bless the nations, that he will be the father of many nations. And. And Abraham's like, wow, that's an amazing promise. But there's a problem.
[00:08:13] His wife Sarah is barren. She can't have children.
[00:08:17] And so, so much of Abraham's story is we see him wrestling with this seeming contradiction of the whole earth is going to be blessed through me and my descendants, but I can't have descendants because my wife can't have children. So how does this work? God? And we see his journey of like, I trust, I don't trust. I trust, I don't trust. I don't. I trust, I don't trust. And then we come to the climax of the story where 100 years old, Abraham and Sarah have this miracle child, this child of promise, Isaac. And Abraham is so besotten with him that he almost actually begins to make Isaac an idol in his life.
[00:09:00] And this is where we reach Genesis 22. So if you've got a Bible, we're going to start at verse one.
[00:09:06] We're going to stand. Because I keep on forgetting to ask people to stand when I'm reading the Bible.
[00:09:16] And now I can't find it.
[00:09:20] There we go. Okay, says this sometime later, God tested Abraham.
[00:09:28] He said to him, abraham, here I am. He replied.
[00:09:32] Then God said, take your son, your only son whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Moriah, sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain that I will show you. So I just want to pause here. This is like, unthinkable.
[00:09:47] The very thing that Abraham has wanted his entire life, he now has to surrender.
[00:09:53] I want to clarify first here. This is a test of Abraham's faith. Okay? At risk of giving away some spoilers, at no point is God going to let Isaac die.
[00:10:02] But Abraham doesn't know this for sure. He doesn't have a Bible that he can look back in and be like, yeah, I know what the end of the story is. So it's easy for me to do this. This is like the ultimate test of his trust.
[00:10:15] And he goes. He goes. The next morning, he gets up and they walk for three days. It says early in the morning, Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. And on the third day, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship you and then we will come back to you.
[00:10:43] Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. And he himself carried the fire and and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father, father.
[00:10:57] Yes, my son. Abraham replied, the fire and the wood are here. Isaac said, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering? I mean, that question man that must have dearie me would have wrecked me. Abraham answered, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son. And the two of them went on together.
[00:11:17] When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out from heaven, abraham, Abraham.
[00:11:34] Here I am, he replied. Do not lay a hand on the boy, he said. Do not do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.
[00:11:47] Abraham looked up, and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place the Lord will provide. And it is said to this day that on the mountain of the Lord it will be provided. Ah, there's so many parallels to Jesus here, but I haven't got time to go into anyways. Carry on. The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed because you have obeyed me.
[00:12:36] This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. You can take a seat.
[00:12:45] This story is unbelievable. Trust.
[00:12:52] Abraham didn't always get it right in his life.
[00:12:54] But at the end of his journey with God, at the end of this journey that God had taken him on, Abraham passes the test with flying colors.
[00:13:05] In fact, he passes this test so completely that the Bible refers to him as the Father of faith.
[00:13:12] James 2:21 22 says, was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
[00:13:28] So we're going to touch on three things I think we can learn from Abraham about trusting God.
[00:13:35] The first thing is this, that trust looks like believing that God is good.
[00:13:42] That's the first thing.
[00:13:44] See, what do we do when our faith is tested?
[00:13:48] Every single person in this room is going to face things that they don't understand.
[00:13:52] Every single person in this room is going to go through times in life where it's more rough than smooth.
[00:13:57] But the question is, how are we going to respond?
[00:14:00] Are we going to panic? Be like, God, you're not good. I'm going to take things into my own hands. Or are we going to lean into God and trust that he is good?
[00:14:10] See, Abraham didn't understand what was going on when God asked him to take Isaac up that mountain, but he trusted God enough to do it anyway.
[00:14:21] Why?
[00:14:22] Because he trusted that the goodness and faithfulness of God would be his way out.
[00:14:30] Hebrews 11 tells us that by faith, when God tested Abraham and offered Isaac as a sacrifice, he who embraced the promise.
[00:14:39] Excuse me. Was about to sacrifice his one and only son, Even though God had said to him, it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. Excuse me.
[00:14:50] Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead.
[00:14:54] And so, in a manner of speaking, he did receive Isaac back from the dead.
[00:15:00] I do this all the time in front of my kids. Cough in the middle of a teaching point.
[00:15:04] They laugh at me. Thank you for not laughing at me.
[00:15:07] Abraham trusted God's goodness, that he would never break his promise, that he even believed that that Isaac would be brought back to life if he were to die. That's how much he trusts in God's goodness. That he's like, cool, I'll do it because I know you're good and you don't break your promises.
[00:15:26] See, this is incredible trust.
[00:15:29] Even when he's talking to his servants. I tried to emphasize it as I was reading. He says, we will go up and worship and then we will come back down.
[00:15:39] The instruction was, go and sacrifice your son. Yet Abraham's like, yeah, we're both coming back down. Because he trusts God. He trusts that he's good. He trusts that he won't break his promise.
[00:15:49] He looked back on his life and he saw the goodness and faithfulness of God at every single moment, that God had never failed him all the way through. And he believed God. You're not going to start now.
[00:16:00] See, when life is going great, it's really easy to believe that God's good.
[00:16:06] But when life gets confusing, when it gets painful, when it gets overwhelming, it's at this moment that trust is really shown.
[00:16:15] The enemy starts whispering, God's really not good. He'll let you down.
[00:16:21] That's where we have to declare the truth.
[00:16:24] Declare the truth saying, no, God is good.
[00:16:28] He's always been good and he'll be good again.
[00:16:32] See, God is good even when life isn't.
[00:16:36] And trust, our trust has to start with this foundational truth for every single person in this room. If we were to look back on our lives, we would see the goodness of God following us the whole way.
[00:16:52] Even the situations we thought were lost, even the situations which we thought were unrescuable, God has turned them for our good.
[00:17:01] So maybe you're here tonight and you're struggling with sickness or illness. Guys, God is good and he wants to bring healing to you.
[00:17:08] Maybe you're here tonight and you're like, money's tight.
[00:17:13] I don't even know where my rent's going to come from next month.
[00:17:16] God is good and he is faithful.
[00:17:19] He will use this for his glory.
[00:17:25] In my first year of uni, I lived in halls of residence in a flat.
[00:17:32] And I loved my flatmates. I was the only one of my flatmates that didn't smoke weed, but I loved my flatmates. Maybe that was why passive high.
[00:17:40] Anyway.
[00:17:41] But, you know, as it does, we got to the end of the year and everyone's like, oh, who are you going to live with next year? And my flatmates, they were really keen for me to live with them. I was maybe not so keen because I didn't want to be arrested for possession of an illegal drug.
[00:17:54] But I felt the Lord say, no, wait, just wait, just wait. And so I did. I waited. I was like, okay, Lord, you're going to provide a place for me to live. And I waited and I waited and I waited for five months in a year.
[00:18:12] And it got to June, my course was over.
[00:18:17] I was living in my halls of residence. Everybody else had gone home. I still had no place to live. But I was like, God, you said you want me. And Lester, you told me before I came through the prophetic, through the promptings of the Holy Spirit, you told me that this is where I'm supposed to be. So if this is where I'm supposed to be, I'm going to have to trust you. And so I went to church that Sunday, being like, God, you're good. You've got to provide, You've got to provide. And I went forward And I was like, yeah, I just want prayer for this. I just pray that somehow provide. This person came up to me and was like, oh, Simon, I've got a word for you. And it's like, yes, you're going to take me into your house? And they're like, no.
[00:18:51] They said, God's going to provide something in the way you least expect it.
[00:18:56] I was like, great, cool. I've been waiting for five months. I thought, okay, God, I trust you. And I went home and the next day I got a text from one of my coursemates and their accommodation had been sorted since November the previous year. And I'd asked them, they were like, nah, sorry. And I got a text from him and he was like, yeah, one of the guys that we're living with, they've dropped out. We don't know why. He's still at uni. He's just decided he doesn't want to live with us anymore and we really need someone to fill in, so would you come?
[00:19:28] I was like, yeah, sure, I'll come. So I went to see the house and they were like, yeah, yes, it's. This is going to make it sound like it. Well, rent has gone up 70 pound a week. And I was like. They were like, yeah, 70 pound a week, is that all right? I was like, yeah, that's fine. I got there, the guy showed me around the house and he said, oh, because you're filling in last minute, we'll give it to you for 60.
[00:19:47] I was like, thank you, God, that you are good. Thank you that you don't break your promises. Thank you that you've provided.
[00:19:57] You see, as a church right now we need to raise a lot of money and not a lot of time.
[00:20:03] It seems impossible, but we trust that God will do a miracle.
[00:20:08] Why do we trust that God will do a miracle?
[00:20:10] Because he's good.
[00:20:12] Because he doesn't break his promises. Because he doesn't fail.
[00:20:16] We can trust that his word is good because he is good.
[00:20:22] Trust looks like believing that God is good because how good you believe God is shows how much you will trust Him.
[00:20:33] My second thing tonight is that trust looks like radical affection, obedience.
[00:20:39] See, once you believe that God is good, that he is for you, that he'll never fail you, that he has a plan for your life is better than what you can imagine. We can be radically obedient to whatever he calls us to do.
[00:20:51] And Abraham grasped this. He saw that God's goodness had followed him the whole of his life. And so that when God says go, he Obeys. He doesn't know the end of the story.
[00:21:01] He just goes, see, once we know God's heart, once we know that he's good, we can be obedient before we know all the details. Not because we know it all, but because he knows it all.
[00:21:15] Trust isn't knowing the whole plan of the journey before you set off. It's trusting the one who holds the map.
[00:21:21] Sometimes we may not fully understand, but we can trust, be obedient and follow his promptings.
[00:21:28] The best kind of example of this is I used to watch rally car driving when I was growing up, and the whole thing of rally car driving is you've got the driver and then you have the navigator next to them. And the navigator's job is basically to tell them exactly what they need to do and exactly where they need to go. And I remember watching this one rally driving race where it was absolutely tipping it down with rain. It was so muddy and it was like they did this in car shot and you couldn't see them because the mud on the windscreen was just absolutely taking it.
[00:21:58] And this driver is driving with his foot on the floor with a navigator going left, right, this, that, this, that, and they're just flying around the course. And I was like, wow, how do you do that? And then I realized the driver had such trust in the one who was holding the map that it didn't matter if he could see where he was going.
[00:22:21] He just went because he trusted them.
[00:22:25] See, sometimes we can't see where we're going, but God has the map. He has the plan. He will direct us exactly where he's planned us to be.
[00:22:36] So what does radical obedience look like? Well, 100%. It means obeying his word. The Bible is, amongst many other things, a manual of how we can and should live, as follows, of Jesus. Yes, it means being radical in getting rid of the sin that, that God might highlight in our lives.
[00:22:54] But I think it also means being obedient to those little promptings that the Holy Spirit gives you.
[00:23:01] Watch out for those moments where it's like, just like, you just get that sense of, oh, I need to do this.
[00:23:07] Be obedient in those moments. Be obedient. Step out in faith.
[00:23:11] Sometimes it could be something really, really big where the Holy Spirit just totally redirects your life. But sometimes it seems like this really insignificant thing. But actually it's a small part of a way bigger picture that God has.
[00:23:25] I'll use an example for you. So last year I was teaching an RE lesson and we were Talking about, like, why people believe what they believe. And I just got this prompting in my spirit of like, simon, share about your prayer life.
[00:23:39] I was like, that's not in the national curriculum, but cool, I'll go with it. So I started sharing about my prayer life, about how I pray, talking to God, sharing life with him. At the end of this lesson, this girl comes up to me from my class and is like, Mr. Green, I've had nightmares for the past six months. Like, I can't sleep. Like, would you pray for me?
[00:24:01] I was like, wow, yeah, sure, I'll pray for you. So I pray for her. Then I was like, let me teach you how to pray so that every night before you go to bed, you can pray that God's peace would rest on you. And she was like, oh, yeah, that's great. And then the next week she comes into school and she's like, Mr. Green, Mr. Green, Mr. Green. I was like, yeah, I didn't have a nightmare last night.
[00:24:23] I was like, thank you, God, for breaking into that situation.
[00:24:27] And at the end of the year, I got this card that I thought was from her, but it's actually from her parents. And inside the card it was like, thank you, Mr. Green, for all you've done for my daughter this year, especially for sorting out her nightmares. I'm like, God, the. That's. That's it.
[00:24:47] See, I could have listened to that prompting and gone, nah, not. Not now. I might get in trouble.
[00:24:57] That's not really what I'm supposed to be teaching right now. I'm going to get behind.
[00:25:01] But I was like, no, okay, God, this is you. So I'm going to do it.
[00:25:05] Even this week, we, myself and Laurie went for our 20 week scan. And one of my work colleagues, his wife's just given birth. And I just felt as I got out of the car, I was like, simon, send him a message. Say you're here. So I did. And he was like, can I see you? I need to chat to you. I need to speak to you. And he came down and for those of you who had children, bags under his eyes, totally looking a total mess, and he was like, I just need someone to talk to. And I was like, I'm here. And we spoke and I gave him some encouragement. This guy has no framework for God.
[00:25:39] He said, would you pray for me? I was like, I'll pray for you. We prayed for him.
[00:25:44] Be obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Those little things that you might seem like so insignificant. Be obedient. Be Obedient, watch out for those moments where the Holy Spirit prompts you.
[00:25:56] It's always, always important.
[00:26:00] For some of you, those promptings, even now you're sat here and you're like, God's prompting me to get out of my comfort zone and get into community, to be vulnerable, to be discipled, to have people hold me to account.
[00:26:12] For some of you, God's been speaking to you for a little while, and it's like, oh, yeah, okay, God, I need to start giving my money.
[00:26:20] I need to start giving. Need to start being more generous.
[00:26:24] For some of you, it's like, oh, I need to send that message to that friend. Just ask how they're doing.
[00:26:30] For some of you, it's way more than that. It's that step of radical obedience. Of, like, God's been on my case about moving cities for a year. I need to really start thinking about that. Or God's been on my case about setting up some evangelism. I need to start doing something about that.
[00:26:48] Be obedient to the Holy Spirit's promptings.
[00:26:52] Just like Charles Blondin and his manager.
[00:26:55] When he sways, we sway.
[00:26:58] When he sways, we sway.
[00:27:02] He's good.
[00:27:04] So we obey.
[00:27:06] And my final thing gonna speed through.
[00:27:12] Trust looks like seeing blessing.
[00:27:15] See, when we trust and obey, we actually step into the life that God plans for us to have.
[00:27:21] And all of scripture talks about how those who trust in God are blessed.
[00:27:26] Those who trust in God have joy. That's Psalm 511. Our ancestors trusted, and you delivered them. Psalm 22. Four, deliverance. He has good things stored up for those who trust him. That's Psalm 31. 19.
[00:27:37] Trust in God and do good, and he will give you the desires of your heart. That's Psalm 37.
[00:27:42] Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside from false gods. Psalm 44. There's just a few.
[00:27:50] See, when we trust that God is good, we are obedient. And when we are obedient, there is blessing.
[00:27:56] Now, that blessing of trust might not always be an external change, but it always is internal transformation, peace, purpose, a deeper sense of God's presence with you. The greatest blessing of trusting God isn't necessarily what changes around you, but it's what trusts you, what changes in you.
[00:28:14] But you have absolutely no idea. None of us do have absolutely no idea what God might set in motion through one single act of obedience.
[00:28:24] Guys, if faith is the currency of the kingdom, trust is that transaction of doing it.
[00:28:32] Faith is the thing that opens the door. But trust is how we walk through it.
[00:28:36] See, blessing comes after obedience. And Abraham sees this too, after he's taken Isaac up the mountain and God has provided the ram. The angel says, I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and your descendants. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies. And through your offspring, all nations will be blessed. Because you've obeyed me. Abraham's obedience became the place where God's promise moved forward, not just for him, but for generations to come. Abraham was already blessed, but his obedience led to more blessing. Not for himself, but for all, every nation.
[00:29:16] Abraham was the father of the Jewish people. And through the Jewish people comes Jesus. And through Jesus, all nations are blessed.
[00:29:26] What if our trust, our act of obedience, could transform the next generation?
[00:29:35] What if our simple trust in God could change the course of of this nation?
[00:29:43] So what have I said?
[00:29:46] Trust is the outworking of faith. It's choosing to act on it. Trust grows along the journey for sure, just like faith does. But trust is believing that God is good in every situation. It's believing that he is who he says he is, even if this world around you might tell you otherwise.
[00:30:04] Trust is being radically obedient as we believe that God is good as we follow his promptings, watching for those spirit led moments.
[00:30:13] And finally his trust leads to blessing, where our obedience and his goodness collide and explode into his kingdom.
[00:30:23] Let's be people who are known for our radical trust in God.
[00:30:28] He is good and we can trust Him.
[00:30:32] So guys, I want to end with a question for you tonight.
[00:30:36] Where is God calling you to trust Him? Next?
[00:30:41] Where is it now that God's been pulling at your heart that you need to say, okay, God, I'm going to trust you.
[00:30:51] I'm going to trust you in this.
[00:30:54] It's time to be obedient. It's time to step out and trust that God is good.
[00:31:01] Why don't you stand?
