Psalm 31: 11-18…..Belief doesn’t assure no problems!

Psalm 30: 6-12…Another ‘down’ cycle.
As for me, I said in my prosperity,“I shall never be moved.”By your favour, O LORD,you made my mountain stand strong;you hid your face;I was dismayed.To you, O LORD, I cry,and to the Lord I plead for mercy:“What profit is there in my death,if I go down to the pit?Will the dust praise you?Will itContinue reading “Psalm 30: 6-12…Another ‘down’ cycle.”
