Responding Right To Realities Part 2

INTRODUCTION:

REVIEW:
Believers are often faced with a myriad of realities, some sad and some glad. All of these things are permitted by God for a reason, but what is IMPORTANT is that we RESPOND RIGHT.

As we do that, we can expect God to move in ways that are FAVORABLE to us.
