Romans 11:33-36
33Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[a] knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"[b]
35"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"[c]
36For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.

How do you see the dynamics of obedience and trust impacting one another here and in our lives? What seems to be an area in your life that seems to be or that you imagine would be the hardest for you to “trust God” with and why is that so? What’s at the core of this struggle?

Addictions
Why is it difficult to trust God? Control…we live one life that can be a double life.
When we don’t trust God we run away to trust lesser gods.
The whole basis of our relationship with God boils down to love and worship. God loves us so much that He gave us His only Son, so that we could have salvation. God has provided for us and promised to love us, we just need to trust Him…not fear Him. We focus on some of the small things and neglect the greatness of what God does and provides for us.
