Are you feeling confused about something in your life?

Sometimes you may not find the exact answer to your issue that is causing confusion, but what you can find are principles to guide you in righteousness, flaws in your own life that are leading to some of your troubles, changes you might need to make, and most importantly, wisdom and the presence of God for the deep waters of life.

What are you confused about today?

Be careful not to be misled. Examine your confusion against the Word of God.

God’s Word brings freedom- He has the power to rid you of your confusion so that you can walk in His peace and freedom!

Let’s take a look together at what his word says.
