Getting It Right (3 of 8)
Series: In God We Trust

1 Chronicles 29:1-22
We’re spending a couple months looking at what it means to trust God with all we are and all we have-our time, relationships, talents, treasure, and everything that is important to us. We’re learning that trusting God is hard, even in the smaller aspects of our lives. Every day brings new struggles, things that tempt us not to trust Him. We end up trying to protect that which we value on our own. Today we’re going to see why it’s really important to trust God with everything we are and have. My hope is that these principles and insights will cause us to modify our lifestyles, so when those moments come when we have to choose whether or not to trust God, we’ll be ready for them. Once again we’re in that season when the world gathers for the Olympics. They’re exciting to watch and it’s interesting to learn the stories of the Olympic athletes. Some of them have been practicing day in and day out for years, even decades, living a life of discipline so that when the time comes, they will be able to perform at the highest level. That time has come when they might see the fruit of all their hard work. We too live in a time when we have to ‘‘get it right.’’ We plan and prepare so that when obstacles come into our lives, we’ll be able to trust God. But how do we do this preparation? In 1 Chronicles 29 we will see three principles that answer this question. But first, let me provide you with a little background for this story. It takes place at the end of King David’s reign over Israel. He was the great champion of God’s people, a victor over the giant Goliath, then anointed by God to be king. He took the nation from a place of great turmoil under the leadership of Saul to a time of great prosperity. Though he was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22), he still had sinned greatly. His youthful lusts and ambitions brought serious consequences, but this served to make him ...
