Passion for Praise: 'God Makes Things Right'

Thursday, December 19, 2024

GOD is gracious — it is he who makes things right, our most compassionate God. GOD takes the side of the helpless; when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me. I said to myself, "Relax and rest. GOD has showered you with blessings."
— Psalm 116:5-7 MESSAGE
