Unit 2, Day 1: Looking to God

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. - Psalm 20.7


Self-centered living is where I am the deciding factor in all that happens around me.
God-centered living acknowledges that God is the ultimate source and agent in all that happens around me.
