I also thought about how this recent election was determined and that God already knew what the result would be. Through all things God can use the significant and the insignificant in ways to make Himself known.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770898936799604859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-36000410901534460152015-11-03T22:41:05.485-06:002015-11-03T22:41:05.485-06:00Corinthians 1:10 stood out to me - "so as to ...Corinthians 1:10 stood out to me - "so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."<br /><br />To walk in a way that is fully pleasing to God, bearing fruit in everything I do, and to increase knowledge in God.
