Praise the LORD!Praise the name of the LORD;Praise Him, O servants of the LORD,You who stand in the house of the LORD,In the courts of the house of our God!Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. – Psalm 135, NASB

Stitching Together a Remnant

The world may see remnants as discarded scraps, but God often has a different purpose in mind.

Sunday Praise

Praise the LORD!How blessed is the man who fears the LORD,Who greatly delights in His commandments.His descendants will be mighty on earth;The generation of the upright will be blessed.Wealth and riches are in his house,And his righteousness endures forever. – Psalm 112:1-3, NASB

Does God Believe in You?

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.Let my meditation be pleasing to Him;As for me, I shall be glad in the LORD. – Psalm 104:33-34, NASB
