A Sacrifice of Trust
MVBC Staff
Psalm 4:5 “Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the LORD.” If you are holding on to your fears or over thinking your anxieties you are not living out the righteousness Christ has given you, and you are not trusting Him to lead you to green pastures and still waters.
