Verse of the Day



I waited patiently upon the Lord;
he stooped to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the mire and clay;
he set my feet upon a high cliff and made my footing sure.

Psalm 40:1-2 RSV 

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me.

Psalm 51:10 NRSV


We can know that God is watching,
Always present, everywhere,
And with hope and joy and patience
He is waiting for our prayer. -- Roworth

There's so much wisdom to be learned,
So many ways for me to grow,
Lord, I would listen like a child,
And learn what You would have me know.
K. DeHaan

And is seems a daunting task,
Trust the Lord for true discernment-
He'll give wisdom if you ask.  -- Hess
