Do you ever start to panic, scheme, or manipulate when you face the unknown? The seasons where you feel lost are actually golden opportunities to learn more about yourself – and God. In this message from Deuteronomy 8, we see how God tested the Israelites in the desert to see what was in their hearts, and invited them to know a life beyond bread alone. Step into the unknown and experience God’s ultimate provision at the cross!
