2 Samuel 22:44–45 (NIV84) “You have delivered me from the attacks of my people; you have preserved me as the head of nations. People I did not know are subject to me, 45 and foreigners come cringing to me; as soon as they hear me, they obey me.

D. Your past doesn’t determine the level of trust you can earn with God
E. Trust is earned through obedience from the heart; it cannot be earned through an act to get God’s attention
F. If you don’t have the trust of God, you have the heart that you can develop in the trust of God
