Walk in God’s Power and Strength
Do you want to walk in God’s power and strength, or do you want to go for it in your own strength? This is a question we must each honestly ask ourselves. If we want to walk in God, we must learn to positively respond to His commands and directions. We must also be willing to say, “No” to lesser things.
