It was great to see everyone out at the Shire last night! We had a great time socializing, worshipping and digging into God's Word for encouragement and direction. If you weren’t able to make it out, here’s what we talked about and where we're headed with our discussions at the Shire.
Especially this month, but in one way or another throughout all we talk about this year, we're going to be focusing on the issue of "trust." Trust is foundational to any relationship - whether we're talking about our human relationships or our relationship with God.
Proverbs 3:5, 6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart ..." Many of us can quote this verse, but, honestly, there are times when it's not all that easy of a thing to do ... think for a moment of the world that we’re living in ... many of us (and all of us will) are seeing and experiencing a great deal of hard stuff that could make it easy to think that it's not worth trusting anyone and maybe even God.
Pray that yourself and all of us will grow in our love for the Savior and know that he is trustworthy. He is with us through it all. Really, isn't that what it all comes down to in our relationship with God ... Our Savior asks us to just keep on trusting him more and more as He leads us.
We're looking forward to seeing God work in our midst and around us this year!
For His Renown,
Derek
