It's Not Yours | When God Doesn’t Explain Himself

Your Hosts

About this Episode

God cannot fully use what we refuse to surrender. We often trust our identity, influence, resources, abilities, and reputation more than we trust God.

God asks Moses a simple question: "What is that in your hand?" The staff represented far more than a walking stick. It represented Moses' identity, livelihood, security, and influence. Before God would use Moses, He first required surrender.

What you place in God's hands becomes far more powerful than what you keep in your own.

About the Series:

Life is full of questions we wish God would answer. Why did the diagnosis come? Why did the relationship end? Why did the opportunity disappear? Why does the waiting continue when we've prayed for so long?

Most of us want explanations, but throughout Scripture, God often offers something different. Instead of revealing the entire plan, He invites us to trust Him one step at a time.

The life of Moses is a powerful example of that kind of faith. From being born into slavery and raised in a palace to leading God's people through impossible circumstances, Moses repeatedly found himself in situations that didn't make sense. Yet through every season of uncertainty, God was present, faithful, and at work in ways Moses couldn't fully see.

In this series, we'll follow Moses' journey and discover what it means to trust God's character when we don't understand His timing, His methods, or His plans. Because faith isn't trusting God when He explains Himself. Faith is trusting God when He doesn't.

Join us as we learn that the most important question isn't, "Do I understand what God is doing?" but "Will I trust Him anyway?"
