TRUST AND OBEY

REFERENCE
Luke 12:4-6 [Message] “I’m speaking to you as dear friends. Don’t be bluffed into silence or insincerity by the threats of religious bullies. True, they can kill you, but then what can they do? There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. 5 Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands. 6 “What’s the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never overlooks a single one.
Luke 12:4-6 [ESV] 4 I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.

EXPLORATION
Words from a friend, "FEAR GOD" - "TRUST GOD"

APPLICATION
Fear God through obedience
Trust God through sacrifice
Can I give more than I take today?

PRAYER
Father,
You are always worthy of praise, and perhaps of the the greatest expression of praise is service.
This day, "Give me your eyes for just one moment" and allow me to praise you by servicing others.
This day, may I give more than I take; and bring honor and glory to your name
