Fw: God Smiles When We Trust Him

Team:

We have been talking about the Crowd Cheering you on. We have also been talking about Faith.

Here Coach Rick Warren shows how Noah put his Faith into Action.

When we put our Faith into Action Everyone Smiles and Cheers especially God.

God used Noah to save future generations. Noah had faith and was obedient to God.

The Bible says "A cheerful heart is good medicine." Proverbs 17:22

You are a Champion!

Just Go! Win the Day!

God Smiles When We Trust by Rick Warren

"By faith, Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land. He was warned about something he couldn't see, and acted on what he was told …. As a result, Noah became intimate with God." Hebrews 11:7 (MSG)

You believe God will keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.

Imagine this scene: One day God comes to Noah and says, "I'm disappointed in human beings. In the entire world, no one but you thinks about me. But Noah, when I look at you, I start smiling. I'm pleased with your life, so I'm going to flood the world and start over with you and your family. I want you to build a giant ship that will save you and the animals."

There were three problems that could have caused Noah to doubt:

1) Noah had never seen rain because, prior to the flood, God irrigated the earth from the ground up;

2) Noah lived hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean;

3) There was the problem of rounding up all the animals and then caring for them.
But Noah trusted God completely, and that made God smile.

Trusting God completely means having faith that God knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.

Trusting is an act of worship.

Just as parents are pleased when children trust them, your faith makes God happy.

The Bible says, "Without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6 NIV).

In what areas of your life do you need to trust God completely?
