Psalms 139:23-24 ”Life is Hard”

Dwayne Phillips asks us today if we've ever done anything bad or had bad things happen in our lives.  In these two passages, the psalmist writes: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  Point out anything in me that offends You and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”   Are we going to give in to these bad experiences or move on and become a new person who belongs to Christ?

Dwayne encourages us to become ambassadors for Jesus Christ and to live a free life with Him.
