1 Sermon Illustrations on Trust in God's Promises

1 illustration

Trust in God's promises means relying confidently on His faithful assurances, which bring spiritual riches and present blessings to believers. Christian preaching often uses images of counting blessings or treasures to depict the value of God's unfailing word (Hebrews 10:23). This trust encourages steadfast hope and joy amid life's trials.

Count The Promises

Believers are rich by trusting God's promises, counting them as present blessings.

Two little girls were counting their pennies. One said, "I have five pennies." The other said, "I have ten." "No," said the first little girl, "You have just five cents, the same as I." "But," the second child quickly replied, "my father said when he comes home tonight he would give me five cents, and so I have ten cents." Trustfully, she counted what her father had promised. That's exactly how a Christian can be poor in the estimation of the world and at the same time be rich. He counts as his whatever his Heavenly Father has.
