The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Never needing to fear provisionThe speaker shares that after 55 years in full-time Christian work, he has never depended on humans and has always been provided for by his heavenly father.

The security of a loving fatherBelievers should depend on a loving father just as Jesus did when He stepped out of the carpentry shop without financial backing and remained totally secure.

Protected until the time appointedJesus was completely secure in His father's hands because His enemies could not touch Him until His appointed time had come.

Choosing total obedience and release of possessionsBy committing to total obedience and relinquishing all rights to possessions and inheritance, believers find their lives at rest with a father who owns the universe.

How much more God givesJesus frequently used 'much more' to teach that the heavenly father gives good gifts to His children far beyond birds, flowers, or earthly fathers.Matthew 7:11

Much more you will be malignedJust as outsiders called Jesus the prince of devils, members of His family must expect to be spoken evil of and maligned by the world.Matthew 10:25

Human value surpasses all propertyComparing a man to a sheep or property, the speaker emphasizes that a human being is infinitely more valuable to God than the whole universe.

Gripped by the truth that God caresBeing gripped by the truth that God cares for His children just as He cared for Jesus brings comfort and frees believers from anxiety about tomorrow.

Why does God allow trials?Although only some trials of Jesus are written in the gospels, John notes that many unrecorded deeds and experiences filled His life.

The Holy Spirit shows hidden thingsThe Holy Spirit takes the hidden things in Jesus' life, such as how He resisted temptation as a young man, and shows them to believers.John 16:14

Tempted in every point as we areWhile Jesus did not face every specific outward circumstance like a drunken father, He was tempted in every single point exactly as humans are and overcame.Hebrews 4:15
