I. AN IMMOVABLE MOUNTAIN
The key to trust is to think great thoughts of God.

II. STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND
Your strength is not the solution to the problem you’re facing; its part of the problem.

III. THE NAME OF THE LORD
The Name of the Lord is a strong tower.

Quotes

“Living as Christian is not walking a tightrope without a safety net high above a breathless crowd, many of whom would like nothing better than the morbid thrill of seeing you fall; it is sitting secure in a fortress.” - Eugene Peterson
