Where do you run for help? When you are in trouble, what is your first instinct? Do you run to others or to God? Is it usually the counsel of another rather than the counsel found in waiting upon God in prayer? Why is this the way it is? Why do we run to man before we run to God?

God is in control and therefore in everything I can give thanks.

When you know what God says, what He means, and how to put His truths into practice, you will be equipped for every circumstance of life.

If you are God's child, you are no longer bound to your past or to what you were. You're a new creature in Jesus Christ.
