  2. The Book of ProverbsChapter 3Prov 3:5-6Trust in the Lord with all your Heart, Pt. 9

  3. III. Faith-Resting in God is developed through different kinds of trust.

  4. A. Compliant TrustYielding, submissiveness, and obedience to the mandates of God.

  5. Gen 7:5,“Noah did according to all that the Lord had commanded him.”Cf. Gen 22:7-8; Psa 40:8; Mat 16:24-25

  6. B. Confident Trust Having confidence, seeking refuge and security in God. Being assured and certain in Him, His Word, Plan and Will for your life.

  7. Prov 14:26,“In the fear (reverence) of the LORD there is strong confidence, and his children will have refuge.”Cf. Gen 24:7; 30:24; 35:18;1 Kings 17:12-16; Psa 3:25-26; 27:3; 71:5; Eph 3:11-12; Phil 3:3.

  8. C. Courageous TrustCourageous, “Having or characterized by courage; being valiant.”

  9. Courage, “the state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger with self-possession (behaving in a calm and confident way), confidence and resolution; bravery; valor.”

  10. Hebrew - AMETS, “To be stout, strong, bold, or alert.”

  11. Psa 27:14,“Wait for, (QAVAH – Faith Rest in), the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the LORD.”

  12. Psa 31:24,“Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.”

  13. Num 13:30,“Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.”Cf. 2 Chron 32:7-8; 1 Sam 14:6-12

  14. Trusting in the Lord will instill His courage in you to do what the Lord is leading you to do. Psa 56:4, 11

  15. John 16:33,“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

  16. 2 Cor 5:6-8,“Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord - 7for we walk by faith, not by sight - 8we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.”

  17. D. Conquered, Conceding or Surrendered Trust.In Joshua 2, Rahab’s fear of the Lord lead her to faith-rest in God for her deliverance.

  18. Principle:It is not enough to know about God and fear Him, there is a need to put faith in Him.

  19. The surrendered spirit will, even in the midst of idolatrous people, acknowledge the Lord as the true God.

  20. Job also had a conceding type of faith-rest, determined to trust the Lord with his life, no matter what the Lord did with him.

  21. Job 13:15, “Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will prove my ways before Him.”

  22. Our Lord had a conceding heart displayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, as He chose “not My will, but the Father’s be done.”

  23. Mat 26:39,“And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”

  24. Heb 5:7,“In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.”

  25. Thomas displayed his surrendered faith in believing in the resurrected Lord after seeing Him with his own eyes. John 20:28, “Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!””

  26. Saul, a.k.a. Paul, surrendered to the Lord when he was “knocked off his horse.”Acts 22:6-11

  27. The surrendered believer is one who realizes their human intellect, power and strength can not save them for salvation or in daily attacks from Satan’s Cosmic System.

  28. This believer surrenders their own human strength in exchange for the omnipotence of God and His Word. 1 Cor 1:27; 2 Cor 12:10; 13:9

  29. 2 Cor 12:10, “Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”

  30. The surrendered spirit is a “complete” (mature) spirit.

  31. Grace Offering Prov 3:9-10, “Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first of all your produce; So your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine.”
