Truly God is good to Israel,to those who are pure in heart.2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,my steps had nearly slipped.3 For I was envious of the arrogantwhen I saw the prosperity of the wicked.4 For they have no pangs until death;their bodies are fat and sleek.5 They are not inContinue reading “Psalms 73: 1-9….Written for worship in the temple.”

Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.
