Entrusting: Part IV

Entrust (verb):

  • To give over (something) to another for care, protection, or performance.
  • To give as a trust to (someone).
  • To charge or invest with a trust or responsibility; charge with a specified office or duty involving trust.
  • To commit (something) in trust to; confide, as for care, use, or performance.

This study is being based off the previous three posts on Entrusting:

Jesus Had His Moments:

They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.” Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? (Mark 8:16-17)

“O unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” (Mark 9:19)

True Entrustment:

  • Poured out in to Others.
  • Working with immaturity and falsehood.
  • Working with Ordinary and Unschooled (prejudge).
  • No Expectation of Return.
  • No appreciation for your efforts.
  • Press on through setbacks.
  • Sometimes Betrayal.
  • Loneliness (Reliance on God).
  • Seems Fruitless.
  • Unconditional Love.
  • Even Death.
  • Fruits may happen after your time.
