*Random Thoughts from Singapore Bible College's 60th Anniversary Pastors' and Leaders' Conference 2012 (Rev. Edmund Chan)*
"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 (NIV)
God's Design: Living from the inside out
The heart (within) precedes the ways (without). Trust and obey. Obey in trust.
The quality of our ministry flows out of the quality of our lives.
God's Desire: Living wholeheartedly
'with all your heart'
'in all your ways'
God's Delight: Living with Christ at the very centre
'Trust in the LORD'
'acknowledge Him'
Trusting God
Why is it so hard to trust God? After all, He is trustworthy, willing, able and has no hidden agenda.
It is so hard to trust God because we want to be in control. But if we cannot trust the one who died for us, who can we trust?
"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" - Romans 8:32 (NIV)
