The World or the Word: TRUST
Why would I need the Wonderful Counselor? There are thousands of trained psychologists I could go to.
Why would I need to trust the Lord to grow the church? I’ve got marketing and business degrees and have literally hundreds of books and conferences to choose from on the subject.
Why would I need to trust the Lord to be my Great Provider? I can play the investment market with the best of them.
Why would I want the joy of the Lord? Every time I buy something, I’m filled with plenty of happiness.
Why would I ask the Lord for His Wisdom? After all, I’ve got 24/7 access to Google.
Why spend time studying God’s Word for myself? All my favorite preachers are just one click away.
