- Those who place their CONFIDENCE in God ... experience growing contentment in God.
- We are made to know, love, and trust God. - But in sin we rebel. Sin robs us of contentment, peace, joy ... lasting satisfaction. Those things can only be found in an authentic faith relationship with our Creator through Christ.
