Trust: — To what extent do you face change optimistically in your life? This has a lot to do with how much you trust God to be sovereign, and how much you actually trust in His intent to bless you by causing ALL the things He brings into your life to work together for good. The evidence for God's sovereignty and goodness is what
Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (ESV) calls assurance and faith (trust). How much do you rely on the testimony and conviction of the Holy Spirit, using Scripture, to determine what you can trust and what you cannot trust in your everyday life?
If the b4worldview course has identified this as a risk for you, then that suggests that even though you know you ought to trust the testimony of God’s declarations in Scripture, it appears you really don’t trust them that much in your everyday life choices—especially when you cannot identify those choices as “religiously relevant.” If there is a disparity between what you actually trust and what Scripture says about God, this will become a greater and greater challenge to your faith (your trust in God) because, if this disparity continues, your faith will become increasingly irrelevant in your everyday life choices—thereby resulting in your faith being, at best, compartmentalized and not relevant in most of your life. |
