I was reading today in the One Year Bible (New Living Translation) and two passages really stood out to me. “They offer superficial treatments for my people’s mortal wounds.” — Jeremiah 8:11 “Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives… Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives…And […]
I was reading today in Psalm 62:5-6:“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.’ This is a Psalm of King David. It expresses such a true trust in God. I desire to have this
