GREAT LEADERS TRUST IN THE LORD!

Team,


Do circumstances ever get you down? Life is full of situations that we cannot control.

Sometimes we feel like we are in a valley. The Bible calls it the "Valley of Indecision." This valley is filled with all types of fear and despair. To get across the valley and to the top of the mountain seems impossible.

We feel frozen with fear. Our mind is racing over and over with the "what ifs."

The trails are crooked. The water is filled with crocodiles & alligators. There are poisonous snakes ect...

Do you ever feel this way about life? Are you at the end of your rope?

How do we get across the valley to stable ground and up the mountain?

GREAT LEADERS TRUST IN THE LORD!

Jesus said, "come to Me and I will give you rest."

Solomon said the following when his mind was spinning out of control with the "what ifs."

"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."
Proverbs 3:5-6

GREAT LEADERS TRUST IN THE LORD!

What is Trust?

Trust is a firm reliance on the integrity, ability, etc., of a person or thing; confident expectation

So if we rely on the Lord's integrity we are in a great place. He won't let us down. Now we can be sure he will give us the power to expect great things.

Here is a verse in Hebrews that puts everything into perspective.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire."
Hebrews 12:28-29

GREAT LEADERS TRUST IN THE LORD!

I will stay in prison till the moss grows on my eyebrows rather than make a slaughterhouse of my principles.

John Bunyan


Just Go!
