00:00beloved there is a startling truth in scripture that the world has ignored resisted and mocked for centuries yet it stands unshaken god does not need your frantic effort to accomplish his perfect will
00:14in fact much of our anxiety our sleepless nights and our desperate scrambling to control life stems from forgetting who is really in charge the bible does not call you to carry the weight of the universe
00:30it calls you to rest in the god who already holds it together by the word of his power we live in a culture intoxicated with busyness obsessed with results and addicted to self help strategies but here is the scandal of grace when you cease from striving and begin trusting god begins to unfold his purposes in ways that no human effort could manufacture
00:57the cross itself declares this it is finished the greatest work in human history was accomplished not by human labor but by christ's obedience unto death so what if the secret to seeing your life fall into place is not in doing more but in surrendering
01:16what if the most powerful step of faith is to stand still and watch the salvation of the lord one god's sovereignty rules over human striving scripture begins not with man but with god in the beginning god created genesis one one
01:33that is the starting point of all theology all life all meaning god reigns he rules over creation over history and over the future the psalmist declared the lord reigns let the nations tremble psalm ninety nine one
01:50and because god reigns our frantic efforts are unnecessary psalm 46 10 commands be still and know that i am god that is not a suggestion for relaxation it is a divine command to stop striving and acknowledge his sovereignty
02:08the tragedy of modern man is this we speak of god's sovereignty but we live as if he is powerless without our input
02:17worry is proof of that unbelief jesus said in matthew 6 do not be anxious about tomorrow
02:25your heavenly father knows that you need them all worry is practical atheism but when you rest in his sovereignty peace floods your soul
02:36joseph's life proves it joseph's life proves it his brothers betrayed him but joseph later confessed you meant evil against me but god meant it for good
02:46genesis 50 20 nothing can thwart the lord beloved do nothing to grasp for control surrender to his sovereignty and you will watch everything fall into place according to his perfect plan
03:01two the futility of self-reliance christ's words in john 15 five cut through the pride of every human heart apart from me you can do nothing
03:11not a little not some things nothing yet our culture worships self-reliance we are told to trust ourselves to believe in ourselves to build our own destiny
03:23own destiny but scripture warns cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength
03:31jeremiah 17 5 self-reliance is not a virtue it is a curse
03:37paul confessed in 2 corinthians 1 9 we felt that we had received the sentence of death but that was to
03:45make us rely not on ourselves but on god who raises the dead god strips us of self confidence so that we
03:53might learn christ confidence the truth is your wisdom will fail your resources will run out your strength will
04:02wither but his grace will not my power is made perfect in weakness 2 corinthians 12 9 beloved stop clinging to
04:12the illusion of control stop exalting self renounce the futility of self-reliance and watch how god's
04:20strength upholds you when yours collapses three the call to rest in christ's finished work at the cross jesus
04:28uttered three words that echo through eternity it is finished the work of salvation is complete the debt is paid
04:38nothing remains undone and yet how many live as though their salvation still depends on effort
04:46how many are enslaved to the treadmill of works always striving to earn what christ has already purchased
04:54that is not the gospel that is legalism ephesians 2 8-9 makes it plain by grace you have been saved
05:03through faith it is the gift of god not a result of works so that no one may boast the christian life
05:09begins continues and ends in grace we do not achieve salvation we receive it hebrews 4 invites us to enter
05:17god's rest just as he rested on the seventh day we rest in christ's finished work that rest frees
05:24us from guilt from anxiety from fear it enables us to serve joyfully pray boldly and endure trials
05:33patiently because the victory is already secured beloved do nothing to add to christ's work rest in
05:40his finished sacrifice and you will see your life aligned not by works but by grace for god's perfect
05:49timing in ordering life's events ecclesiastes 3 11 declares he has made everything beautiful in its time
05:56god's timing is flawless not your time not my time his time the problem is we are impatient we want
06:04instant answers instant results instant breakthroughs and when god delays we doubt abraham and sarah did not
06:14wait for god's promise and instead produced ishmael a reminder that rushing ahead of god brings lifelong
06:22consequences but those who wait upon the lord see his timing unfold perfectly joseph languished in prison
06:31for years before being exalted israel waited centuries for deliverance the world waited millennia for christ
06:40yet in galatians 4 4 paul says when the fullness of time had come god sent forth his son and not a moment
06:49too soon not a second too late beloved what looks like delay is preparation what feels like silence is
06:57orchestration romans 8 28 assures us that all things work together for good to those who love god
07:06he is weaving your story thread by thread into a masterpiece do nothing to rush his timing trust him
07:14and in due season you will see everything fall into place five faith in action standing still and seeing
07:21his deliverance when israel stood trapped at the red sea panic filled their hearts pharaoh's army was behind
07:28them the sea before them and nowhere to turn yet moses declared fear not stand firm and see the salvation of
07:37the lord at exodus 14 13 god did not tell them to fight to strategize or to build boats he told them to
07:47stand still and when they did the lord parted the waters led them through and destroyed their enemies
07:54deliverance came not by striving but by surrender that is faith faith often acts but sometimes its
08:01greatest act is to wait isaiah 30 15 says in quietness and in trust shall be your strength
08:09beloved when trials come your flesh wants to fix everything but faith says god is my deliverer
08:16when uncertainty looms your flesh wants to control but faith says god is my guide when enemies attack
08:25your flesh wants to fight in your own strength but faith says the battle is the lord's so stand still
08:33do nothing in fear do nothing in self-effort watch the salvation of your god for when you trust him you
08:40will see everything fall into place by his power not yours closing appeal beloved the message is simple
08:48yet profoundly counter-cultural do nothing in restless striving do nothing in self-reliance do nothing to
08:57add to christ's finished work do nothing to rush god's timing do nothing in panic when trials
09:06surround you instead be still trust rest wait and watch the god who reigns is the god who provides
09:16the savior who finished the work is the savior who sustains your soul the spirit who indwells you
09:23is the spirit who empowers you all of life falls into place not when you grasp for control but when
09:30you surrender it so today cease striving rest in his sovereignty trust in his timing stand still
09:40and watch as the lord makes everything fall perfectly into place
