If it’s true that God has provided everything we need for life, then why are so many people stuck in the rat race of modern living? Instead of running around searching for more, why don’t we stay happy with who we are and what we have? You see, everything you need for life has already been provided for. You just have to learn to be content and understand the difference between your needs, wants, and extras.
In this episode, Les helps us understand the provision of life - how we will be taken care of when we tap into our life’s purpose, become contributing members of our world, and begin to understand that our existence is not by our choosing.
