Have you ever asked yourself, “Does God trust me?” We know God doesn’t need us, but he has entrusted humans with time, talent, and treasure, urging them to be faithful stewards. Can we be trusted with this?
[0:00] Need is a creature word
[10:00] God is knowable
[15:45] God entrusts us
[29:30] Final thoughts
Bible verses:
Acts 17:24-25
Genesis 1
Psalm 50
Psalm 145:3
Romans 11
You have probably heard of the trust fall. It’s an illustration to represent trusting someone enough to catch you when you fall. We can trust God in that same way, but does God need to trust us? No. God is self-sufficient and does not need anything or anyone.
“‘Need’ is a creature word.” - AW Tozer
The idea that God is self-existent and self-sufficient is reinforced through various scriptures.
In Acts 17, Paul explains that God does not live in temples made by humans and does not need anything, as He gives life and breath to all. In the beginning, God created. (Genesis 1) Psalm 50 further enforces God’s self-sufficiency. God is incomprehensible but He is knowable. (Psalm 145:3)
God has entrusted humans with time, talent, and treasure, and it is our responsibility to be faithful with these gifts. As Christians, we are ambassadors for Christ and represent God on earth.
Actions steps:
Reflect on how you are using the time, talents, and resources God has entrusted to you to glorify Him.
Consider whether you are creating more than you consume, especially on social media, and use your platforms to shine God's light.
Evaluate if your possessions possess you or if you are using them to honor God.
Strive to be faithful in all that God has entrusted to you.
"Live for God by connecting faith and life."
