Facing
Down Your Giants
“I tell you for certain that if you have
faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing. You will do even
greater things, now that I am going back to the Father.”
John
Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see what God sees. Knowing that, as we place our trust and faith in Him, He has our safety and frame in mind. In His purpose and plan for us, He is perfect in wisdom and sovereignty.

Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in
his hands.”
Matthew 10:28 Msg
*
when you place your complete trust in Him, He will not allow you to
suffer defeat either- it may not be
as you planned;
but the ultimate blessing will be yours to grow by and to encourage
others
