Hunter & Mandi Gillis share a message on the importance of God's provision and our trust in Him to provide. When the world says that we don’t need God’s guidance instead we only need to lean on ourselves, we have to stop and be transformed by God’s word that says He will provide, He is our place of safety, apart from Him we cannot do nothing.
