When It Comes Down To It: Trust

He was hurt.  People had let him down. He wanted to quit. 
The thing is . . . I have learned that when we  receive
Confidence
Courage
And
Strength
Through Christ . . . then . . .
  we soar above the stuff of life. It is a matter of where we put our trust:
 Yet those who wait for the LORD
         Will gain new strength;
         They will mount up with wings like eagles,
         They will run and not get tired,
         They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:31, NLT
 Trusting Christ is a decision that empowers . . . energizes . . . strengthens.

When it comes down to it . . . we must trust.  The thing is trust is vital to being healthy and productive. 



Trust is hard to do .  
Trust requires . . .
waiting for results . . .
waiting for things to get better . . .
waiting to move forward.

Waiting is finding yourself between
 what was and what will be . . .
the past and the future . . .
a rock and a hard place.

Waiting gives us the opportunity to . . .
 draw close to God . . .
relentlessly trusting . . .
learning to anticipate what more God has planned.

  Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . trusting Christ.
Pastor Kerrie
