Getting Confused on What to Follow?
God can and does use all things in this world for His purposes and plan, but we can get confused and follow what looks like it’s of God instead of letting God lead.

Worry?
We all worry at times. We worry about our families, our health, our finances, our future, our circumstances and things that are completely outside our control.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much God is doing in your everyday life? Do you recognize God as you go through your daily life? We often look for God in the big things.
