Message summary & scripture references
Many times in life, things just work out in our favor because God loves us. However, we have to be careful not to assume that the paths we took that led to good outcomes were approved by God. If we make that assumption, we run the risk of repeating unauthorized paths or setting goals based on un-anointed past experiences. Listen to today’s Daily Word to learn more about this idea.
