[00:00:09] Welcome to Gracious Words.
[00:00:12] Gracious Words is taken from the weekly women's Bible study, taught by Cheryl Brodersen at Calvary Chapel
[00:00:17] Host a Mesa, California.
[00:00:35] On today's program we'll see how Abraham's servant was giving an overwhelming task,
[00:00:41] but he stepped out in faith, prayed and trusted God with the outcome, and saw his prayers
[00:00:46] answered in miraculous ways.
[00:01:13] And now here is part 2 of Cheryl's message titled The Good Will of God.
[00:01:20] David Nancy, who lived in York, England.
[00:01:25] By a miracle he was walking the walls of the city.
[00:01:30] They didn't have a church, but he felt like the Lord was telling him, start a church, plant
[00:01:34] a church in York, England.
[00:01:36] And he came to the gatehouse in England and he saw that there was some construction, so
[00:01:41] he goes and he said what's going on?
[00:01:43] And they said, oh well we're fixing it up, the council wants to rent it out and he said,
[00:01:47] well how much?
[00:01:48] They said go to the council office, well they've had no money at all, but he goes to
[00:01:52] the council office.
[00:01:53] And he says I'm interested in renting it, how much?
[00:01:56] And they said 2000 pounds and he said oh I can't afford it and they said a year for
[00:02:01] the full year only 2000 pounds.
[00:02:04] He said well I want to put my name on the list of people who want it.
[00:02:08] So he put his name on the list, just trusty in that the Lord would provide 2000 pounds.
[00:02:13] I mean that's a basic rent of, but it's for the full year.
[00:02:18] So he puts his name on the list.
[00:02:20] In the meantime this church in America gives him 2000 pounds so the Lord just put it
[00:02:25] on our heart.
[00:02:26] So he's got 2000 pounds.
[00:02:28] Find out he's the only person who put his name on the list.
[00:02:31] It goes to hell.
[00:02:33] They want to start, but for the first time ever a truck hits, it's a gate that goes in
[00:02:41] out of York, the main entrance in and out of York.
[00:02:44] Hits one of the pillars so they can't go in it because they have to make it stronger,
[00:02:48] but the newspapers come out.
[00:02:51] So now Dave Scott free advertisement about his church, they interview him what are you doing?
[00:02:55] What's going on?
[00:02:56] Well everyone's invited in York to come to church because this is what we believe
[00:03:00] and they write it all in.
[00:03:02] So now he's got this church, he's got this building, but they need to move to York.
[00:03:07] They've been living in this low one room house with three of their children, they
[00:03:10] just need to move to York and this is what happens.
[00:03:13] They go to the Lidding office and they said, well we don't have any lids right now, but
[00:03:18] this is what we do have.
[00:03:20] There's a man who's going to sell his house, but it doesn't look like it's going to
[00:03:23] go through maybe go talk to him.
[00:03:25] They go to talk to him.
[00:03:26] He's an 80-year-old missionary.
[00:03:29] He doesn't want to sell it to the people he's selling it when he sees David Nancy says,
[00:03:32] I want to sell it to you.
[00:03:33] I'll tell you what.
[00:03:33] You just pay me rent and I'll make it count for a gallon payment and for buying the house.
[00:03:42] And he said, and not only that, I have a library that I can't use.
[00:03:46] Would you like some Christian books?
[00:03:48] David is ecstatic because that's his language of love books.
[00:03:51] And he says, and they have a piano, I can't take with me.
[00:03:54] Nancy had left her piano in Arizona to go on the mission field.
[00:03:58] This is the piano.
[00:04:00] That God gives her.
[00:04:01] They are ecstatic.
[00:04:03] So now they've got a house.
[00:04:05] They've got a place, but you know what?
[00:04:07] There's a problem.
[00:04:07] They don't have any chairs.
[00:04:10] And I remember being at a conference in Hungary and Dave's going,
[00:04:13] I know we have everything, but we don't have chairs.
[00:04:15] And I remember saying to him, Dave, God is giving you a house.
[00:04:19] He's giving you books.
[00:04:19] He's giving you a piano.
[00:04:20] He's giving you a place.
[00:04:22] He's not going to stop with the chairs.
[00:04:24] Well, the next day we come downstairs.
[00:04:26] He's got one of those smuggles that only men can have.
[00:04:29] You know?
[00:04:30] I'm like, you've got the chairs.
[00:04:33] And he shakes his head, yes.
[00:04:35] This is what God did.
[00:04:36] A country club calls up.
[00:04:39] How they got Nancy's phone number.
[00:04:40] Nancy doesn't even know to this day and says,
[00:04:42] look we've got all these chairs.
[00:04:43] We heard your church.
[00:04:44] We heard you need chairs.
[00:04:45] We can sell them to you for a pound of peace.
[00:04:49] The Rania, they're just the wrong fabric.
[00:04:51] And she said, great.
[00:04:53] How many?
[00:04:54] And they said 75 chairs.
[00:04:55] She has exactly 75 pounds in her bank account.
[00:05:00] She goes on the lady says, oh, by the way,
[00:05:04] we counted wrong, there's 150.
[00:05:06] Nancy keeps writing the check knowing there's not 150.
[00:05:10] She's thinking, well, God, you can multiply.
[00:05:12] I don't know how you're going to do it,
[00:05:13] but maybe by the time this goes through.
[00:05:15] And the lady looks at her and says, what are you doing?
[00:05:17] She says, I'm writing a check.
[00:05:18] She says, no, they've already been paid for it.
[00:05:21] To this day, Dave and Nancy do not know
[00:05:23] how those chairs were paid for it.
[00:05:25] There's so much more, but I just remember,
[00:05:27] God's not going to stop.
[00:05:29] He's not going to stop short of fulfilling all
[00:05:34] of his promises in the Bible.
[00:05:35] He's not going to stop short having come this far.
[00:05:41] And this is what Abraham bases his confidence on.
[00:05:45] God has kept his word thus far.
[00:05:48] He's not going to stop now.
[00:05:50] But he says to the servant, if the woman is unwilling,
[00:05:53] then you're released from this obligation.
[00:05:55] So the servant sets out after his oath to Abraham,
[00:05:59] he takes 10 of Abraham's camels.
[00:06:01] He takes supplies in a treasury of gifts
[00:06:04] and your wives and a horse.
[00:06:07] And he has the camels kneel down to rest
[00:06:09] and he begins to pray to God.
[00:06:12] Now, this is what my dad would call a direct prayer,
[00:06:16] a directed prayer.
[00:06:18] My dad said not to pray this way,
[00:06:19] but it worked for this guy, so I've tried it myself.
[00:06:22] I need says, Lord, will you reveal the right woman to me
[00:06:26] by having her volunteer to water the camels?
[00:06:30] That is white and undertaking.
[00:06:33] Now, I know what it says in our little book
[00:06:35] of how much water a camel could drink,
[00:06:38] but on the internet, on fact check,
[00:06:41] it said that camels can drink 53 gallons of water in three minutes.
[00:06:47] Multiply that by 10 camels,
[00:06:49] 10 camels, 53 gallons each,
[00:06:52] and you've got 530 gallons.
[00:06:56] One gallon of water weighs 10 pounds.
[00:07:00] So do you realize what this servant is actually praying for?
[00:07:03] Lord, give me a robust, strong, willing to work hard
[00:07:09] for no visible reward, hospitable and caring woman
[00:07:12] for my master's son.
[00:07:14] He's not asking for beauty, is he?
[00:07:16] Lord, give me beautiful, great figure.
[00:07:20] Good eyes.
[00:07:21] No.
[00:07:22] Robust, strong, willing to work hard
[00:07:25] for no visible reward, hospitable and caring.
[00:07:30] My aunt, who was a pastor,
[00:07:33] son my mom's side, so she's got all the, you know, whatever.
[00:07:38] But my aunt was a pastor,
[00:07:40] and she went out on a call this man had lost his wife
[00:07:44] and she went to the house to, you know, minister to him.
[00:07:48] And, you know, she said, you know, I'm so sorry
[00:07:51] about sister, so and so but she's in glory.
[00:07:54] The man just put his head down and shook it
[00:07:56] from right to left and said,
[00:07:58] I'm gonna miss that woman.
[00:08:01] She was a hard worker.
[00:08:04] My aunt said she just got up and left the house.
[00:08:09] Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[00:08:09] This is a lot of chips to the well.
[00:08:11] It's quite a few backup faults,
[00:08:14] but when the servant is still silently praying,
[00:08:17] here comes beautiful Rebecca with their picture
[00:08:21] on her shoulder to draw water.
[00:08:23] The servant runs to her and asks for a drink.
[00:08:26] Not only does she give a servant the drink,
[00:08:29] but then she volunteers to fill the trough
[00:08:31] with water for the thirsty camels.
[00:08:34] Now the servant remains quiet till he can ask her
[00:08:37] to who this young girl is.
[00:08:39] I don't know what is thinking processes.
[00:08:42] Maybe the girls here in Naeho are really nice
[00:08:44] and love camels, but he immediately rewards
[00:08:47] the girl for her service with a nose ring and bracelets.
[00:08:51] Then inquires if there is lodging at her house.
[00:08:54] At that moment, Shui feels that she is the daughter
[00:08:57] of Bethual, the son of Naeho after whom this city is named.
[00:09:01] I think she's an only my person of, you know,
[00:09:09] and yes, there is lodging at her house.
[00:09:13] At this word, the servant realizes how faithful God
[00:09:16] has been to him.
[00:09:18] Ani, Bows' head and right there in a sinner of town
[00:09:23] by the well he begins to worship,
[00:09:26] blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham
[00:09:29] who is not forsaken as mercy and truth toward my master
[00:09:33] as for me being on the way,
[00:09:35] the Lord led me to that house of my master's brethren.
[00:09:40] The Lord got me right here where I am supposed to be.
[00:09:46] Not only was God faithful to Abraham,
[00:09:48] but he had been absolutely faithful
[00:09:51] to Abraham's servant right in a very,
[00:09:55] so to speak, driveway of Rebecca's house.
[00:09:59] Rebecca runs home and forms your family
[00:10:01] of all that is taking place,
[00:10:03] and her brother, Laban, seen, I love this man,
[00:10:06] seen the ring and her nose.
[00:10:09] Well, where'd you get that nose ring?
[00:10:12] Unseen the bracelets,
[00:10:14] and then hearing the story of God's providence
[00:10:16] runs out to meet the servant of Abraham himself
[00:10:21] and invites the whole entourage to the house.
[00:10:24] At dinner, the servant refuses to eat
[00:10:26] until he shares the whole story, the testimony
[00:10:30] and receive the answer from Rebecca's family
[00:10:33] concerning the success of his mission.
[00:10:36] The family sees God's hand in all the workings.
[00:10:40] They agree to let Rebecca be the wife
[00:10:42] of Abraham's son,
[00:10:43] and at that point the servant opens up his treasury
[00:10:47] and gives Rachel a change of clothes, more jewelry,
[00:10:50] and it's only a four-taste of her new identity
[00:10:53] and the blessings, the prestige and the wealth
[00:10:56] that will come as Isaac's wife.
[00:10:59] He also enriches Laban and Rebecca's mother
[00:11:02] with gold and silver when they are willing to let her go.
[00:11:06] About 24 years ago, 1996,
[00:11:10] when the Lord spoke to Brian and I that we were to move to England,
[00:11:14] one of the hardest things to do
[00:11:15] is to tell my parents that the Lord was leading us to England.
[00:11:20] One of the hardest things for my dad
[00:11:21] to ever hear was that the Lord was leading us to England.
[00:11:25] He said he didn't mind Brian going to England.
[00:11:27] It was me and the grandkids.
[00:11:33] But I remember my mom just sobbing,
[00:11:37] just breaking down and sobbing
[00:11:38] and she called me sending morning before church
[00:11:41] and she was just crying.
[00:11:43] And she said, Cheryl,
[00:11:45] I have been praying for England for 10 years
[00:11:49] and I've been praying in inner-seeding
[00:11:50] and I just never knew there would be a personal cost
[00:11:54] to my prayers.
[00:11:55] But I remember she said,
[00:11:56] don't let my tears stop you from doing the well of the Lord.
[00:12:00] Don't let my, you know, please or like,
[00:12:03] Brian, but this is my mom.
[00:12:04] She used to have a box of seascanned issue
[00:12:06] and take a piece and then she would hand me the box
[00:12:09] and she said,
[00:12:10] take it away, hide it
[00:12:11] and don't give it back to me even if I yell or scream.
[00:12:16] To do that, quite a bit,
[00:12:17] didn't matter if it was ice cream or whatever.
[00:12:19] Take it away and don't give it back to me
[00:12:21] even if I yell or scream.
[00:12:22] So she was saying to me,
[00:12:23] even if I yell and scream.
[00:12:26] Don't stop from doing the well of the Lord.
[00:12:29] A few days later, I read this passage
[00:12:31] it was in my personal devotions.
[00:12:33] And the Lord spoke to me and said,
[00:12:35] Cheryl, I'm gonna reward your mom
[00:12:37] and your dad for allowing you to go.
[00:12:40] I have a gift for them if and when
[00:12:44] and as they are willing to release you
[00:12:47] and bring to my service.
[00:12:49] And I told that to my mom,
[00:12:50] I called her up and I said,
[00:12:51] this is what the Lord just showed me for you.
[00:12:53] I remember what she said.
[00:12:54] She said, I don't like that.
[00:12:58] It might be true but I don't like that.
[00:13:00] And right now I'm not in a place to receive it.
[00:13:03] I told you, you can go, that should be enough.
[00:13:06] And I said even if I yell and scream,
[00:13:08] you still have to go but I don't want to hear that.
[00:13:11] But I remember I had been in England for about six months
[00:13:16] and what happened is I was just at that point
[00:13:18] saying, Lord, I miss my mom so much.
[00:13:20] I just really miss my mom.
[00:13:22] And the phone rang right there.
[00:13:25] Like before I finished my prayer,
[00:13:26] the phone rang at a year.
[00:13:28] Cheryl, is this you?
[00:13:30] And I'm like, mom, she said I saw this
[00:13:33] these random numbers that you're gathered
[00:13:36] written out on a piece of paper
[00:13:38] and I thought I wonder if that's Sherry
[00:13:40] don't ever call me that,
[00:13:42] that's your private name for me.
[00:13:43] And she said so I just punched them in the phone
[00:13:47] and it is.
[00:13:49] And I said, mom, at this very moment,
[00:13:52] I was just crying to the Lord telling them how much I missed you.
[00:13:56] And she said, oh, isn't he so good?
[00:13:58] And I said yes, she said,
[00:13:59] remember that thing that you told me about Rebecca
[00:14:02] and I said, yes, she goes, you know what, you're right.
[00:14:06] You're absolutely right, she said, you know?
[00:14:09] My time with the Lord has been so precious
[00:14:11] and He's been given me so many insights
[00:14:14] and is word new insights, precious insights
[00:14:17] that I wouldn't trade for anything.
[00:14:20] And she said, he really does reward
[00:14:23] the one who is willing to give him everything.
[00:14:27] Never forget that conversation.
[00:14:30] The next morning, Rebecca's family tries
[00:14:32] to persuade the servant to stay another 10 days.
[00:14:36] I don't know if they yelled or screamed.
[00:14:38] He refuses, he wants to hasten back to his master.
[00:14:42] No doubt he is so excited at the prosperity,
[00:14:45] the immediacy and answer to Abraham's commission.
[00:14:50] He wants to do this as fast as possible,
[00:14:53] maybe even got the camels back within 20 days on the way back.
[00:14:57] They ask Rebecca what she wants
[00:15:00] and she says, I will go.
[00:15:04] And they send her off with a maid
[00:15:07] which would have been more like a girlfriend
[00:15:08] and a blessing.
[00:15:10] Our sister may you become the mother of thousands
[00:15:13] of 10,000 and may your descendants possess
[00:15:16] the gates of those who hate him.
[00:15:19] Rebecca goes the long journey to a land far away.
[00:15:23] It is indeed a great commitment for Rebecca.
[00:15:27] As a woman it means that she most probably will never ever see
[00:15:31] any of her relatives again.
[00:15:33] She's going to an unknown place to live in a tent, not a house.
[00:15:40] She's going to an unknown brideroom
[00:15:42] and she's going on the testimony of the servant of Abraham.
[00:15:48] Perhaps because she recognizes the hand of the Lord
[00:15:51] on Abraham's life,
[00:15:53] because the Lord has been preparing her for this day,
[00:15:58] or because she loves the testimony that includes her,
[00:16:05] defined out that she is part of God's story
[00:16:09] and that she has been chosen by God,
[00:16:14] called by God and sought out by God.
[00:16:19] Rebecca goes and as she arrives,
[00:16:22] there's no doubt a company of servants
[00:16:25] and people Abraham out over 300 trained servants
[00:16:29] and his household.
[00:16:31] And they're a million about.
[00:16:32] But as she looks up,
[00:16:34] there's this my own imagination kicks in here,
[00:16:40] devins stateingly handsome man,
[00:16:44] coming over the hills.
[00:16:46] And all of these men look like nothing
[00:16:48] and she turns to the servant
[00:16:49] and no doubt don't you know on this whole journey
[00:16:51] she's like what's he like?
[00:16:52] What's he look like?
[00:16:53] What's he talk like?
[00:16:55] What's his favorite thing to eat?
[00:16:57] What's his favorite song?
[00:17:00] What's his favorite band?
[00:17:01] She's asking all the questions about Isaac
[00:17:03] to this servant, finding out all about Isaac
[00:17:06] and now she sees.
[00:17:07] And she says to quote my granddaughter,
[00:17:10] Ula Allah,
[00:17:13] and who is that?
[00:17:15] Not who are any of these is he among these,
[00:17:18] but who's that?
[00:17:22] And he says, that's Isaac, that's my master son.
[00:17:26] And immediately she puts the veil over her face
[00:17:28] signaling that she agrees to this marriage.
[00:17:32] Now I find it ironic that she went without
[00:17:35] knowing what Isaac looked like.
[00:17:38] And now Isaac is gonna have to marry her
[00:17:40] without knowing what she looks like.
[00:17:44] Isaac, as part of the marriage ceremony,
[00:17:47] takes Rebecca into his mother's tent.
[00:17:50] It is respectful.
[00:17:52] And by doing so he's conferring to Rebecca
[00:17:54] all the esteem, respect and position of Sarah,
[00:17:58] who had been the matriarch of the family
[00:17:59] and the covenant wife of Abraham
[00:18:02] and heir to all the promises of God.
[00:18:04] Now Rebecca will be the matriarch of this family
[00:18:09] and they are to all the promises of God
[00:18:12] and the wife of the covenant.
[00:18:15] The final note of chapter 24
[00:18:17] is that Isaac loved Rebecca
[00:18:21] and that he was comforted by Rebecca
[00:18:26] from his mother's death.
[00:18:28] Here is a chapter ultimately about trusting God,
[00:18:32] Abraham trust God and therefore,
[00:18:35] entrust God's will to his servant.
[00:18:39] The servant trusts God to show them the right wife
[00:18:42] for Isaac.
[00:18:45] Bethlehem is wife and is son,
[00:18:47] Lavin, entrust Rebecca to the servant
[00:18:49] and Rebecca entrust her life in future
[00:18:52] to the servant of Abraham and ultimately to Isaac.
[00:18:56] And what unfolds because of the trust and faith
[00:19:00] is the ultimate e-harmony story.
[00:19:06] Rich with suspense will the servant find the right girl.
[00:19:12] Will the right girl be willing?
[00:19:14] Will Rebecca be attracted to Isaac?
[00:19:19] Will Isaac love Rebecca?
[00:19:23] The story of wealth, the servant is entrusted with riches
[00:19:27] and the servant bestows the riches on Rebecca
[00:19:31] and her family.
[00:19:33] It's a story of enrichment.
[00:19:34] Rebecca's life is enriched by being in the lineage
[00:19:39] of the chosen of God.
[00:19:41] Rebecca's family is enriched with the gold and treasury
[00:19:45] that God is given to Abraham.
[00:19:48] The servant's faith is enriched as he sees
[00:19:51] that God not only meets Abraham with the promises
[00:19:57] but also the servant.
[00:19:58] And Abraham's family is enriched with a robust, strong,
[00:20:02] willing to care for animals beautiful woman.
[00:20:07] And Isaac is enriched with a godly wife that he loves.
[00:20:12] It's a story of divine encounters when you trust the Lord
[00:20:16] that the right place, the right time,
[00:20:18] the right person, the right word, the right action
[00:20:20] and the right confirmation happens.
[00:20:23] The servant goes in the right direction,
[00:20:25] the servant meets Rebecca of all the girls in the area,
[00:20:29] the family meets the head servant of Abraham,
[00:20:32] their relative, Rebecca sees Isaac coming up from the field
[00:20:36] and is immediately attracted.
[00:20:39] It's a story filled with typology.
[00:20:42] Abraham liked the Heavenly Father,
[00:20:44] entrusted the Holy Spirit who is in charge
[00:20:49] of the operations of all of God's house
[00:20:52] to find the bride for his son, Jesus.
[00:20:57] It is the Holy Spirit who is now preparing the church
[00:20:59] to be the bride of Jesus.
[00:21:01] The church like Rebecca is not in his relate.
[00:21:05] She must be sought out and found
[00:21:07] and she must be willing to leave all that she knows.
[00:21:11] All that is familiar and Mary the one
[00:21:13] she has only heard the witness of.
[00:21:17] It's a story which in testimony
[00:21:19] God is faithful to His word, to His promises,
[00:21:23] to His own, to His servants.
[00:21:25] God is faithful to lead, prepare, answer,
[00:21:28] prosper, work, bring success and bless.
[00:21:31] This story reminds us that God is absolutely faithful
[00:21:35] when we trust and entrust even the most delicate matters
[00:21:40] to him.
[00:21:41] I know many believers who are willing to entrust
[00:21:44] certain things to God but keep others in their back pocket.
[00:21:48] I've had people say to me, well, you know, Charlotte,
[00:21:51] I've given God a good 50%.
[00:21:53] But I just kind of think that the Southern 50%
[00:21:56] I might be able to do a little better than God.
[00:21:58] I think of when Jesus gave the talents
[00:22:01] to the servants, to the one he gave the 10 to the other to five,
[00:22:05] the one, the one and the 10 gave it all back.
[00:22:09] He's been at on his master and he was enriched.
[00:22:13] But the one who hid what he was given,
[00:22:16] he was rebuked.
[00:22:19] He didn't trust the master.
[00:22:22] He didn't trust, he didn't use with the master given him.
[00:22:26] My dad used to love the him, like a river glorious.
[00:22:29] And in that him as a line that says, those who trust him,
[00:22:33] holy, find him, holy, trail.
[00:22:36] It is that full trust, that a full investment
[00:22:40] that will bring back the greatest dividends.
[00:22:45] Your blessings are directly related
[00:22:48] to how much you invest.
[00:22:51] The more God is allowed to lead, the more he will lead us
[00:22:56] into his good will.
[00:22:59] God won't force you to give it all to him.
[00:23:02] For Son of Us and for most of us,
[00:23:04] it is a progressive submission.
[00:23:08] Personally, I'm at that place where I want to make sure
[00:23:12] everything is under the authority of Jesus Christ.
[00:23:15] And when I find those little rebellious places in me,
[00:23:18] which still unfortunately existed time,
[00:23:20] that pocket of resistance, what I do
[00:23:23] is I bring it under the authority of Jesus Christ
[00:23:25] just as quickly as I can,
[00:23:28] because I have found that things that I hold onto,
[00:23:31] things that I think that I know better with
[00:23:34] are always the thorns and snares in my life.
[00:23:39] But the places, even though it might be painful,
[00:23:42] the offerings that I give God are the things
[00:23:45] that are most blessed.
[00:23:48] As a Son, Miss said in Psalm 1, 1968,
[00:23:53] God is good and He does good.
[00:23:56] God's will is to enrich your life,
[00:23:59] to lead you in his good ways and his good will,
[00:24:02] to prosper you, to fulfill His promises to you,
[00:24:06] to love on you, to bring you joy and adventure.
[00:24:11] And to fulfill the desires, the good desires of your heart.
[00:24:16] The more you trust and entrust to Him,
[00:24:20] the more exciting and revolutionary your life will become.
[00:24:26] In life, we will be called to entrust
[00:24:29] and trust the Lord with people, situations, and circumstances.
[00:24:33] We will have to exercise faith and say not my will,
[00:24:37] but yours be done.
[00:24:38] But that can be hard and difficult.
[00:24:41] So we must remember we are not alone.
[00:24:44] God is with us and He can be trusted.
[00:24:46] Abraham served in prayer when He was faced
[00:24:49] with an overwhelming task and God answered Him miraculously.
[00:24:53] Today, God is still working and answering prayers
[00:24:56] as we seek His will.
[00:24:58] May God give us the ability and strength to trust Him
[00:25:01] so that we may believe and walk in faith.
[00:25:04] We hope you have been blessed by today's Bible study.
