CENTRAL TRUTH:

We miss out on the benefits of God when we FAIL TO TRUST HIM IN THE MIDST OF OPPOSITION.

RESPONSES TO GOD'S CALL:

OPTION #1 Lack of trust: Measuring OUR OWN strength against the obstacles. Conclusion: The BENEFITS PROMISED are irrelevant.

OPTION #2 Trust in God: Measuring GOD'S strength against the obstacles. Conclusion: The OBSTACLES are irrelevant.

CLOSING ENCOURAGEMENT: Treasure the ways God has proven Himself TRUSTWORTHY IN THE PAST so you can continue to TRUST HIM IN THE FUTURE.
