Steady Trust

Strong and Steady, Pt. 2 | January 11, 2026Pastor Wes MorrisPsalm 9:7-10 (NIV) The Lord reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne.

The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.√ TRUST GROWS FROM KNOWING GOD, NOT CONTROLLING OUTCOMES.Exodus 3:13-14 (NIV) Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”Proverbs 18:10 (NIV) The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.√ SEEKING GOD IS HOW TRUST BECOMES STEADY.Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NIV) Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
