Sermon Excerpt

So, what do you do now? How about this? Don't wait for some big crisis to hit so you can try to trust Jesus. Trust Him in the little crises. These are things that are a part of everyday life. Your well-laid plans for the day are completely upended when one of your kids comes down with a stomach bug or someone you were depending on doesn't come through, or any of a multitude of things that make your life that much more difficult. And there you are in the resulting chaos trying to figure out what Plan B might be. You have a choice. 'Do I trust Him now?' Choosing to trust Him will lead to peace, real peace, the peace that only Jesus can give. The situation may still be troubling, but you will be able to make your way through it. So, this is what you do. Pray. That is always key. Pray that you will be able to trust Him in the little, everyday crises so that you will be prepared to trust Him when some big crisis comes along.
