If we were to consider that the Word of God is such an awesome thing that it completely surpasses human capability in the natural, & that even when we are redeemed, there yet remains many things that we cannot explain, sometimes we must learn therefore, to simply accept the contents of God’s holy Word just Because God said so! Listen as we teach the disciples of Christ to live out Deuteronomy 29:29!
