THY KINGDOM COME session 9 107<br />

If you grew up going to church, you might know the<br />

old hymn “Trust and Obey.” The chorus is very simple:<br />

“Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in<br />

Jesus than to trust and obey.”<br />

These two words go together—if we trust Jesus, we will be<br />

willing to obey his teaching. And if we’re not willing to do<br />

what Jesus says, it’s probably because at some level we don’t<br />

trust that He knows what’s best or can take care of us.<br />

SHOW ME THE WAY I SHOULD GO,<br />

FOR TO YOU I ENTRUST MY LIFE.<br />

Psalm 143:8<br />

Like so many old hymns, this one is full of truth. We might<br />

find pleasure and even temporary happiness in life by doing<br />

our own thing, but if we’re going to find joy as followers of<br />

Jesus our only option is to trust Him as our King and follow<br />

where He leads.<br />

AS A GROUP, DISCUSS THESE TWO QUESTIONS:<br />

Who is someone you trust completely? Why have they<br />

earned your trust?<br />

Who is your favorite character in the Bible? How did they<br />

show trust in God?
