Despite his circumstances, Joseph trusted, honored, and glorified God; he provides an example to us today of trusting God even when it's hard to see how God is working.
Trusting God (transferring our confidence and hope from ourselves to Him) leads to obedience; together these concepts form the fifth of eight "spiritual essentials" (core aspects of the Christian faith), which Ken Boa is covering in his Friday morning men's study at First Redeemer Church (Cumming, GA).
"Trust and obey" (the fifth essential in this series) are words so simple, so basic, that their importance can easily escape us. As the primary expressions of faith, though, they’re vital to grasp.
Dr. Boa highlights the value of applying the Morning Affirmations, focusing on the final three affirmations: Circumstances of the Day, Protection in the Warfare, and the Coming of Christ and My Future with Him.
