Taking Time

Is It Time To Reboot?

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 4, 2021

Today our lesson challenges us about our priorities in life – It asks the questions: “Do we still trust God today?” “Do we have Him in His proper place in our life?” “Do we still trust God in a pandemic?’ But do we really? Is God in 1st place on our priority list today?
