#752 If You Trust Traffic Lights, This Will Mess With You | Proverbs 12


Listen Later

Why do we trust traffic lights without hesitation but struggle to trust God with our lives?This powerful faith-based story breaks down the difference between trust and faith using Proverbs 12, real-life moments, and a stoplight that forced a hard spiritual question.On the way to dropping my kid off at school, I made a split-second decision at a red light—convinced something was off. The guy next to me thought I was crazy. No accident happened, but the moment stuck with me. Why? Because it exposed how easily we place faith in imperfect systems created by imperfect people… yet hesitate to trust a perfect God.Years ago, Pastor Miles McPherson shared a message that resurfaced in that moment: every time a light turns green, we assume all the others are red. That’s faith. Blind faith. Yet Proverbs 12 reminds us that trust is built, not demanded. Trust comes from promises kept. Faith is formed inch by inch.This video explores:The biblical difference between trust and faithWhy discipline produces knowledge and wisdom listensHow time with God builds trust, and trust grows into faithWhy doing the right thing with the right heart winsHow God proves Himself faithful through aligned resultsWhy peace, diligence, honesty, kindness, and wisdom still workFaith doesn’t arrive overnight—it’s built inch by inch, from glory to glory. And when God’s words consistently match His results, trust forms naturally… and faith follows.So the next time you pull up to a stoplight and it turns green, ask yourself:If I can trust an imperfect invention made by imperfect people…why do I struggle to trust the One who made me perfectly?
