We would like to be as spiritual as a certain man of God, or as wealthy as another prominent figure. But even if we make a lot of effort to try to emulate their success, the Bible says that our environment has the final say.
Stop for a moment and think about it: the season you are in is part of your training. God wants to mold your soul, transform your thoughts, and your character. He wants to teach you a very specific lesson; are you listening?
