Pastor Paul talks about having faith through the uncertainty of life. He talks about leaning into who he know's God to be and taking steps in faith even when we can't see the path ahead. 
John 13:7 (NIV)
Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." Psalm 119:105 (ESV) Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Joshua 1:9 (ESV) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Numbers 14:6-9 (ESV) At the same time, two of those who had explored the land, Joshua (son of Nun) and Caleb (son of Jephunneh), tore their clothes in despair. They said to the whole community of Israel, “The land we explored is very good. If the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us. This is a land flowing with milk and honey! Don’t rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. We will devour them like bread. They have no protection, and the Lord is with us. So don’t be afraid of them.” Perspective - A particular way of thinking about something, especially one that is influenced by your beliefs or experiences. - A particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view Psalm 23:4 (ESV) Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) 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. Proverbs 16:9 (ESV) The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Matthew 6:33 (ESV) But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. #1 – You are WORTH IT. Romans 5:8 (ESV) but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. #2 – You are LOVED. Romans 8:38-39 (ESV) For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. #3 – You have WON the battle. Romans 8:31-32 (ESV) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? #4 – You have PURPOSE Ephesians 2:10 (ESV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. He is the one who never leaves the one behind. Comments are closed.
