In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the importance of spending time at the beginning of the year reflecting on the previous year and thinking about the year to come, rather than rushing into setting New Year's resolutions. It is God who orders our steps and therefore, let’s spend time listening to what God has for us this year as we step into Bible Study.
The central question posed in this episode is: What is the evidence for your trust in God? I challenge listeners to think about what external signs in their lives demonstrate their trust in God. We explore the idea that trust in God often grows through seasons of struggle and uncertainty and that these difficult times can lead to a deeper and more profound trust in Him.
We dive into Isaiah 40, a chapter that doesn't explicitly mention trust but sets the stage for understanding how to trust in God. The passage begins with a message of comfort and a vision of a future where every obstacle is made straight, revealing the glory of God to all. It contrasts the greatness and power of God with the fleeting nature of human life, emphasizing God's sovereignty over creation and His tender care for us.
