Trust: The Big Picture Belongs to God

Main Point: God commands us to trust him with the Big Picture of our lives
because his ways are better than our ways. Surrender to God’s will for your
life.

Foundation Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11. God’s plans are to give you hope
and a future according to His Kingdom purposes

God’s Kingdom Purpose:

• Proverbs 19:11. Many are the plans of a man’s heart but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
  • There are souls that do not want God’s Kingdom purpose because it disrupts their prideful plans for their life.
  • Once we surrender to the fact that we were created for Kingdom purpose and that is the only place to find true hope and fulfillment in this life, then the supernatural journey begins.
    • Surrender to God’s beautiful purpose for your life. There is so much joy there.

The Big Picture Belongs to God
Genesis 12:1-5.  Abraham is given a promise but he was not given clarity on the big picture of his journey.

Abraham tries to help God fulfill his promise of a great nation and his seed numbering the stars

• Genesis 15: 1-6.  
  • Abraham offers God a solution for being a great Nation.  God clarifies his promise of a seed.
    • Genesis 15:5. God illustrates his promise of a seed that will be as many as the stars.
      • Sarah also tries to help God fulfill his promise.

The Promise Fulfilled
Genesis 21:1-7.  Abraham and Sarah have a son, named Isaac, in their old age.  God keeps his promises.

Trust-The big picture of my life belongs to God

• Focus on the thing things you can control and enjoy the supernatural journey.
  • God is good.

Summary:
God made Abraham a promise.  Abraham wanted to see the big picture (his seed numbering the stars) so he offered to help God with his promise.
