Summary

Jim Elliot once said, "God always gives His best to those who leave the choice to Him." In life, there is always the temptation to do what feels right. To choose for yourself. However, the Psalmist learned an important lesson: Let God choose for you! Join Scott Pauley as He brings this message from Psalm 47. This message was preached at the Temple Baptist Church in Powell, TN on January 30, 2017. Click HERE to watch the original message. Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.
