Psalm 118 - "It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to trust in man" This is a helpful reminder to me, as our world encourages us to take refuge in governments, savings accounts, etc. When we trust to greatly in these things it's good to remember that they are not a sure bet, and when we feel powerless against such things controlling our lives it's good to remember that God is in fact in control.
1 Samuel 18:10-30 - No matter what Saul does, he ends up being afraid of David. He doesn't like him hanging around so he sends him to war. David's fame grows so he tries to marry off his daughters to him. No matter what Saul does, it's clear that God is with David and will use him for His purposes.
Acts 27:27-44 - This passage is devoid of preaching or miracles. Instead we see Paul's steady hand of faith. It is not a faith of inaction, thinking God will do everything so let's just sit here. Paul's faith is all about trust in God and activity for others.
