“Want to bet on a sure thing?”
Many people find a thrill in gambling and risk-taking. Placing a bet may be fun and innocent but might also be sinful and addictive. There are no risks in trusting the Lord. Circumstances might make it feel hard or unthinkable to trust in the Lord but a truthful and wise heart will always lean on the Lord. How do you build this kind of faithfulness toward God? How do we know that what God decreed will actually come to pass?
- Think about the surety that God gives for His promises. How do you know that His promises apply to you?
- Discuss with a friend or family member the fears you have in “going all in” with the Lord.
- How does the fear of loss cause us to lose focus on God’s faithfulness?
- How do we see serving God as a risk? What do we fear to lose?
- In the Bible, what kind of things are we to do with our whole heart?
