Playing Through the Pain: Trust & RestSample

Playing Through the Pain: Trust & Rest

DAY 2 OF 4

One of the most inspiring things to watch is a person who is experiencing great difficulty, while simultaneously remaining steadfast in the midst of their struggle.

I’ve been blessed to have been exposed to a variety of phenomenal players, both on and off the field. One of the things they have all had in common is an unmatched mental toughness. The ability to trust their own process even when the going gets incredibly tough.

One of my mentors, Bill Horn, is constantly encouraging me to Trust & Rest. These two are inseparable. In order to trust completely, you must be at rest completely and in order to rest completely, you must trust completely. It is really like an art and a science, all at the same time.

David knew this tactic well. So often we see him in moments that should rattle him to the core, but they don’t. When, from our perspective, he should be the most worried or fearful, we find him faithful.

Our word from David today comes from Psalm 21. Pay close attention to verse 7 and notice that the king trusts in the Lord not because the Lord gives him everything he wants, but because the unfailing love of the Most High God promises to keep him.

This is true for you too. 

You can Trust & Rest because the Most-High God will keep you by his unfailing love

No matter what you are going through.  No matter what you experience… 

Trust & Rest.

Now then, LISTEN to God speak over you through the written words of David.
