There is no such thing as a life without conflict. We are born into adversity and constant conflict looming over us throughout our life. Job 14:1 says, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.” Sadly, many today have bought the lie that if you trust Jesus that

Devotions for the Head, the Heart, and the Home Rom. 12:11 Read: I remember being a kid and having chores to do. Many of my chores were not things that were listed on a board or job description. The chores that I saw most commonly each day would come directly from my Mom or Dad
