Challenge: We’re challenged on a daily basis to choose what God would want verse what we would want. What He wants isn’t always the easiest but He always provides. If you ’re having a hard time trusting God or you don’t know in what ways He wants us to obey, get with someone and study the Bible so that we all can Pass The Test!
