Passion for Praise: 'Protectively Caring for His Faithful Friends'

Wednesday, November 12, 2014

For the very structures of earth are GOD'S; he has laid out his operations on a firm foundation. He protectively cares for his faithful friends, step by step, but leaves the wicked to stumble in the dark. No one makes it in this life by sheer muscle!
— 1 Samuel 2:8-9 MESSAGE
