WAIT ON THE LORD IN TIMES OF TROUBLE Don’t look to Political solutions Don’t use suffering as a license to sin Don’t blame God
2 Kings 6:8-23

We must have a mindset of grace, rather than a mindset of works. 1) Show Gracious Hospitality. 2) Accept blessings from others humbly. 3) Receive the grace of God.
