Name: Trusting God
Rating: 5.0 (1 reviews)

Why is it easier to obey God than to trust Him?

Because obeying God makes sense to us. In most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. Before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives. We ask, “Why is God allowing this?” or “What have I done wrong?”

During such a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a thorough Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and in Trusting God he shares the fruit of that study. As you explore the scope of God’s power over nations, nature, and even the details of your life, you’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely—even when life hurts.

A Powerful and Encouraging Guide to Trusting God

Trusting God offers a deeply biblical approach to trusting God through life's challenges. Jerry Bridges makes it clear that trust is an intentional decision to cling to God’s promises, even when life feels overwhelming. He doesn’t just address how to trust but dives into why we can, focusing on God's sovereignty in all circumstances. While much of the book covers familiar ground, it’s refreshing to have these truths laid out so clearly. Bridges is able to convict without judgment, constantly pointing readers back to Christ and the gospel, and grounding his points in Scripture. This book is an excellent resource for anyone struggling with faith in difficult times. It’s a great reminder that, despite the world’s struggles, we can trust a sovereign God who is in control. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to deepen their trust in God, especially in the face of adversity.
