What You See Is Not What You Get!

What you see is NOT what you get! Whose report are YOU going to believe? I am going to believe the report of the Lord. Don't settle for the devil's lies. Remember, he was a liar from the beginning, he is a liar now, and will always be a liar. Trust God with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. He has everything in control; He knows what He is doing in YOUR life.

Be blessed,
Dr. Hooks
