God is looking for Covenant partners to rule His world with Him according to His wisdom and ways. Will we take the "forbidden fruit" of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, cutting God out of our lives and making our own way, or will we ask God to give us His divine wisdom in His time and in His way? This is the pressing question each soul must answer.

God is only looking for people to say "yes" and believe in His goodness and promise...
