Trust in the Lord

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5) *1/ The LORD God of Israel in whom we trust. 2/ What we are to trust him for. 3/ How we are to show that trust.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the command to trust in the Lord with all one's heart, using King Hezekiah as a primary example of exclusive reliance on the God of Israel. It distinguishes between trusting in the true God of the Bible and placing faith in idols, human understanding, or political alliances like Egypt. The exposition outlines three areas of trust: God's sovereign providence over daily life, His specific plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, and His ongoing work in sanctifying and keeping believers. The preacher emphasizes that genuine trust is evidenced by obedience to Scripture, the diligent use of means such as prayer and the Word, and a steadfast hope that rests solely in Jehovah rather than in self-reliance.
