Focus on Faith – Only trust Him

32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” 33:3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ Jeremiah 32:7; 33:3 It seems that in our world today, we are facing more and more challenges in life. People are looking for answers, but unsure where to find them. Have you ever found yourself facing a situation that just seems to have no earthly answer or solution to it? Maybe you have found yourself scratching your head and wondering what to do next? I’m pretty sure it is safe to say that we have all been there at one time or another in our lives.
