Compare & Save!


"The seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be embarrassed.  Indeed, they will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.  On the other hand I am filled with power -- with the Spirit of the Lord -- and with justice and courage to make known to Jacob his rebellious act, even to Israel his sin." Micah 3:7-8

We hear many speak about the Lord.  How can we know the Truth and be free?  We only know the Truth by spending sincere time in the Lord's Word, learning more of Him and His vision and purpose for our lives.  When we do, then we realise how amazing the Father is and what a privilege it is for us to serve his proposes so others may know and love Him, too.  So just compare and save!

"'Then Job answered the Lord and said, behold I am insignificant; what can I reply to Thee?  I lay my hand on my mouth.'" Job 40:3-4

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
