Mini Word!

We attended New Life Church our first week in Colorado. We had a great experience and enjoyed Pastor Brady's (Senior Pastor) sermon.

He spoke out of Proverbs 3: 5-6:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make your paths straight."

This passage and Pastor Brady really spoke to me. Here are the three points I got out of it:

1. Trust:

• We need to place our trust in God.
  
• "There is no one like our God"
  
• Question: Who is the first person you call when bad things happen? Shouldn't our answer be God? I know that wasn't the first name that popped in my head. What about you?
• It is ok to go to others but God should be our first stop. He needs to know we trust him first.
• In whom will you trust?

2. Lean:

• We need to lean on God ( Isaiah 55:8).
• If we lean on ourselves and follow our heart where is that going to get us? In a ditch somewhere!!!
• If we trust and Lean on God, He will set our path straight.
• Quote: "Worry is a commitment to your own thinking."
• If you think you are the one who needs to figure you life out good luck sleeping at night!
• Commit to God's thinking.
  
• If you want to end up in the right place, then listen up because God's wants to tell you.

3. Acknowledge:

• Acknowledge a faithful friend; God.
• We have the best father in heaven.
• Ask Him: "Dad am I doing it right?" "I need your guidance."

How well are you with trusting, leaning, and acknowledging God? This is in an area in my life that I am always working on.

"God, help us all to trust and lean on you more. Help us to acknowledge that you love us and wants what is best for us. Continue to speak into our lives in hope we will open our ears to hear."
