(67) When Things are Hard, You Can Trust God’s Heart

When Things are Hard, You Can Trust God’s Heart

There may be a lot of questions raised by the first chapters of Exodus, but one thing is very clear: God knows what He is about. And soon everyone is going to know.

In chapters 5-7, we see how God responds to doubt and how He responds to evil, and it’s not necessarily the same response. When we are scared, He says, “Look at Me. Look at what I have done for you. Trust My heart for you.” And then He sends us to do the thing He has for us so we can practice our faith in real life.

Are you afraid? We hope this episode gives you confidence in the God who equips and sustains you as you live with Him.
